Big Loud Records and its Canada-based, Dallas Smith-founded imprint Local Hay Records have signed country singer Hailey Benedict . In addition to the record deal, Benedict has also signed a global publishing deal with Big Loud Publishing and Local Hay. “I’m ecstatic to begin this new chapter with such an incredibly creative and dedicated team that shares my vision for my songwriting, artistry, and career,” Benedict said on stage in Toronto.

“After a decade as an independent artist, it was crucial for me to partner with a record label that aligns with my values and passion for music. I truly believe I’ve found the perfect home with Big Loud and Local Hay. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every single person who has supported and championed my music and journey throughout the years.

This would not be possible without your support, and I can’t wait to see what is to come next.” “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Hailey to our team. Hailey has the drive, talent, and passion you dream about in a new artist.

The sky is truly the limit,” added Scott Cooke, president of Local Hay Records.
