Hayley Lyn Gordon (Spoken Label, September 2024)

Latest up from Spoken Label features making her debut, the amazing Hayley Lyn Gordon. Hayley is a mother of 2 and a spoken word artist, known as, Twisted Tales and was born and raised in Anfield, Liverpool. She writes about motherhood, love, heartache, co-parenting, grief, addiction, mental health and random stuff e.g. about her cat eating ham! She started a project in 2023 that involves incorporating music with spoken word and is on the look out for musicians to collaborate with in the future. Her poetry journey began in July 2021, when she saw a post from "A Lovely Word" advertising an open mic night. She finally found the courage to stand up in St James' Gardens and read "Lemonade Grenade" for the first time, to far more people than she expected. Since then, Hayley's life has been a rollercoaster and she's found writing helps her navigate through lifes ups and downs. Music is a big passion and she has been inspired by many artists, such as Stevie Nicks, Taylor Swift, Paramore, The Cure, Prince, Marilyn Monroe many more. Hayley is also one of the many women platformed by Claire Berry's popular "Fem De La Femme Comedy and Spoken Word" events at The Everyman, Liverpool. This amazing comedy night also raises money for various women's organisations within the Merseyside area every 3 months and is so proud to be apart of an organisation that empowers women and also gives back to the comminity. Hayley mainly performs her poetry with "A Lovely Word" at "The Everyman" and "Word Vomit" at "Round The Corner". She performed during the poetry festival hosted by "A Lovely Word" and "Unusual Art Sourcing Company" in Liverpool for the launch of their poetry zine during June and July 2024, whilst also competing at "A Lovely Word Slam Competition" at the Shakespeare North Playhouse (2023) and The Everyman (2024). Hayley also recently hosted an intimate poetry reading with the local community in Dovecot MAC and had a ball whilst being interviewed by Andy NPoet for his podcast "Spoken Label" (release date 2nd September 2024, on most streaming site e.g. YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music etc).
