Hayden Arp is a songwriter whose work is equal parts intimate and electrifying. With a distinct lyrical voice, a bright personal charisma, and a penchant for ambitious collaboration, Hayden has built audiences around the world, from the US to his adopted home of Vienna.
Raised in the Washington DC area, Hayden taught himself composition, production, guitar, piano, and singing from the age of 11, releasing multiple records before the end of high school, and earning himself admission into the prestigious Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
In the years that followed, Hayden released “For Gabriel,” an EP that The Fader called “Tingling, gorgeous,” and toured the US 9 different times. In 2020, he moved to Vienna Austria.
Since then, Hayden has established himself as a central figure in the Viennese music scene. His 2022 LP With Eliza was praised in outlets such as Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung and Kulturnews, and his 2025 single Coming Up For Air peaked at #3 in the FM4 charts.
