The Girl Who Cuts Her Hair Online.
Who is Haley Blais? Why would she steal our hearts? Here is everything you need to know about who she is and why you should be a fan:
Haley Blais is a Canadian youtuber and musician. Her videos range from music, to vlogs, to funny videos. However, her music is her big claim to fame.
Blais’ YouTube channel began in April 2013. Since 2013, she has grown to a following of 165k subscribers.
The most popular video on her channel is a cover of her singing Tonight You Belong To Me posted in 2015. The second most popular video, and the video that introduced me to her channel was her DIY Drunken Bangs video (after a typical “I need to give myself bangs” moment in my life).
Blais made a follow-up video called “I am The Girl Who Cuts Her Hair Online” – a brief sequel to DIY Drunken Bangs that became her second most viewed video on her channel.
Blais is a very relatable YouTuber who vlogs her life in a comedic way, while also talking about veganism and a sustainable lifestyle. Some of her vlogs are of her traveling while she’s on tour for her music. Blais also uses YouTube to promote her music videos.
Originally, Blais had a second YouTube channel where she posted her music covers and originals, but she switched to posting that content on her primary YouTube channel in 2014.
Today, Blais attracts approximately 69k monthly listeners on Spotify, and has gone on tours across North America and Canada. The main genres Blais creates is folk and indie-pop music.
Blais released her debut EP “Late Bloomer” in 2016, which was the jump-start of her musical career. In 2018, Blais released her album “Let Yourself Go”, which features the song “Seventeen”.
One of my personal favorite songs by Haley Blais is “Seventeen”, which is also listed as the second most popular song on her Spotify. “Seventeen” is about reflecting on your adolescence and being the person you wanted to be when you were younger.
“Seventeen” makes you feel like a teenager again— even if you are in your mid 20s. The music video is full of clips from Blais’ tour across Canada and North America. The vibe of the video expresses the youthfulness of Blais’ personality and the humility of her band in a breezy and colorful video.
“Seventeen” is definitely a song that you should have on your summer playlist for the youthful, warm and breezy feel the song will give you.
Haley Blais is a rising musician and YouTuber. Her videos will make you laugh. Her music will make you fall in love. I hope that you will give her YouTube career and music a listen and support her content.
