I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 21st, 1994, and raised in Burley, Idaho. I received my 2nd Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do at the age of 13. Graduated from Declo High School where I was a show choir performer for 3 years for the Declo High Trendsetters. I made my way back to Salt Lake City, Utah and attended Salt Lake Community College in 2013 for their film program, where I learned the skills to direct, film, and edit my own music videos.

​

My passion for music and entertainment in general really started at the age of 5. My father introduced me to my love of horror films, starting with the 1978 classic “Halloween”, directed by John Carpenter. From that movie spawned my deep desire to be a part of the entertainment business. I knew I was destined to entertain in one form or another. I eventually starred in an independent film titled “Red Eye” written and directed by Deranged Minds Entertainment back in 2016.

​

I really got into rap around the age of 10, listening to artists such as Lil’ Wayne, Eminem, Kanye, and Nicki Minaj. I found myself writing rhymes, lyrics, songs, and even scripts in my journals throughout my schooling. This led me to eventually shooting my first music parody, “Lawn Guy”. That and my follow up parody, “Salt Lake City Dreams”, really sparked my love of music and writing.

​

In 2019 I released my first album titled “GAYPOCALYPSE”. Then in 2020 I released my most popular song, “Barbie Girl”. I did several features in other songs: “FBoy Fall”, “3, 2, 1 Vogue”, “Another Guy (Remix)”, “Cap”, and a couple freestyles to “Whole Lotta Choppas” and “Trollz”. And then in 2021 I released my second album “Hayden Todd: Volume One”.

​

Since the release of Hayden Todd: Volume One, I have done local performances at The Sun Trapp, an LGBTQ Bar in Salt Lake City, Utah, along with other local venues and LGBTQ events. My most notable performance was opening for Toddrick Hall at the Loud & Queer SLC Pride 2021. I have been asked to perform in the Las Vegas Pride, which will be October 10, 2022.

​

With each new song that I write, and each new performance, my strength as an entertainer constantly grows. My current single “Long Lost Love” is a testament to my growth as an artist and is only a steppingstone to music yet to come. With the support of my family, friends, and fans (my Hot Toddies), I hope to see myself as being a strong role model and voice for the LGBTQ community.
