I make R'n'B music, certified by agencies that certify genres of music. Or I might disregard that completely and do something else. Have an open listen.

Conjuring a sweet and luscious sound that merges the tunefulness of vintage pop, the delicate touch of folk and a dash of Soul, Hadleigh Ford is a singer songwriter that has gone through more than his fair share of changes since starting music. The son of Jazz vocalist Eileen Ford, Hadleigh was lead singer of the band Oedipus which was the home to some of his earliest attempts at songwriting. As a band of friends Oedipus toured extensively honing their craft and eventually playing their most prestigious gig at the original Concorde in Brighton. After Oedipus split he fronted an eponymous trio and released the ep 'All Pieces Together' before finally deciding that working solo best suited his songwriting style. He successfully released his debut album 'Solow' in 2013 through Pledgemusic. During this campaign he offered fans the opportunity to share their lives with him via stories, photos or anecdotes. Hadleigh then used these personal slices of information as a starting point to write new songs for those that were kind enough to share with him, "Writing a song from someone else's life was an amazing opportunity to be given a window into someone else's world". The album 'Songs For You…' collects all the songs recorded for this project and is a mini album available through Bandcamp. Having just recorded an ep of Bjork covers called, 'All Is Full Of Love', Hadleigh is currently writing and recording demos for his second full album. There is plenty more in the pipeline from Hadleigh Ford.
