Jake Hays

Born and raised in southern California, Jake Hays is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, actor, VFX artist, producer, and big fan of all things creepy and spooky. He discovered a love for music at age thirteen with drums, eventually moving onto guitar, keyboards, singing and producing. Hays signed with BMG/Vagrant Records in 2015 with his project Maudlin Strangers, and toured the US and Canada multiple times over opening for acts like Bad Suns and Cold War Kids. Hays has also produced acts like Hunny (for their Windows I - EP) and Royaljag (for their debut Chameleon EP). In November 2018, he lost his home and recording studio in the Woolsey Fire. In the following months, he rebuilt a small recording setup and rented a studio lockout in Burbank, CA. There, he began writing and recording as many songs as possible, including the debut single “Sleep Talk” and his debut “Room 13” EP.
