The Little Miss (Hayley Johnson) is a Los Angeles-based musician with roots in jazz, blues, and folk who will be releasing her new album, American Dream, later this year. Having been inspired by female vocalists such as Fiona Apple and Jewel, Johnson can remember starting girl bands at recess and writing lyrics in notebooks beginning in the first grade. In middle school, Johnson began performing original music around San Diego county with her father at local coffee shops and surf competitions. Johnson developed the idea for The Little Miss while in college at San Francisco State University, where she rediscovered her love of music by way of her studies in Philosophy.
The sound of The Little Miss ranges from gritty guitar riffs to one-take, twangy samplings straight from the plains. Her latest single, "Doubt," merges a fuzzy, bluesy guitar alongside a stirring organ and The Little Miss's soulful vocals on a track that explores self-doubt via an almost uncertain, noir vibe. The Little Miss has said that, "Doubt concerns itself with the intellectual understanding that life's answers cannot be summoned, but takes note of the relentless desire to still call for said answers. Essentially, it's about asking questions that you know you will never have an answer for." Indeed, the song questions, "I pray every day and I pray every night, but I'll never know if I am getting it right. Or will I?" Listen below and for more information visit HERE
