Hayley Nichole Williams is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. She serves as the lead vocalist, primary songwriter and occasional keyboardist of the rock band Paramore.

Williams was born in Meridian, Mississippi and moved to Franklin, Tennessee after her parents divorced when she was 14. In 2004, she formed Paramore alongside Josh Farro, Zac Farro, and Jeremy Davis.
