He has interviewed some of the most fascinating and elusive artists in the music industry and his popular editorials explore everything from etymology to mariachi.

As a graphic designer Hayes has a reputation for creating timeless iconic images and blending it with a rock 'n' roll edge. That reputation, garnered from years working with musicians and record labels, has led to an international client base ranging from colleges and law firms to non-profits. In 2010, he and wife Arielle founded Hayes Design Studios a holistic branding firm dedicated to innovative high-end service.

A songwriter and multi-instrumentalist since his teens, Hayes has recorded, written for and produced many indie and major label artists.

Living on the island of Martha's Vineyard in New England with his wife and their two young sons, they spend their free moments enjoying local food and great music, taking in the island's changing seasons.
