Check out my new songs ...

Hiya,
I just wanted to draw all of your attention to my music page, which has three brand new songs of mine posted for your listening pleasure. ("Holden Caulfield" for all the J.D. Salinger fans, "Luck" featuring the coolest three-stringed instrument in the world, the strumstick, and my new ukulele tune "6th Avenue")

They were recorded live at Crash Mansion, NYC in November, and I'd love to hear your thoughts (I mean only if you love them... kidding, kidding...) I'm working on recording studio versions of these new songs and more for an upcoming EP, details to follow. Enjoy!

Love,
Hailey

VideoStatic.com Feature, YouTube views break 275,000, Ramona Forever!

Whew! It's been quite a record-breaking, exciting few days here at Wojcik HQ (read: my studio apartment and my laptop...)

Today the number of views of my video on YouTube broke 275,000... Woo-hoo! Thanks so much for watching and listening. You all have no idea how great all your positive messages, comments and support have been. :)

And the online love keeps coming; this week, I'm also featured on an awesome blog called VideoStatic! Just scroll down a wee bit on the homepage and you'll see the great review they wrote of my video. (Ramona Quimby forever! Wait isn't that actually one of the book titles? Er, Ramona Quimby in the house!- that should be one of the book titles...) Anyway, check it:

YouTube update/ i love you!!!

Thanks so much to everyone for the positive feedback on "Dinosaur Bone" being featured on YouTube.com! The video has gone from under 3,000 to nearly 150,000 views within only 48 hours. It was a labor of love shooting it this past summer just after moving to Brooklyn. My girlfriend, Faith, made the outfit and shot it for me; it was a neat creative DIY adventure for the both of us. Almost no one turned a head at the sight of this dinosaur walking down the street. Ahhhh, New York.

On to a new season, I am taking this time to write some new songs for an EP I hope to release around Spring 2008. It is sure to feature more songs on ukulele, guitar, keyboard, and Strumstick. You can preview the newly-written and -performed "Sixth Avenue" (with me in Halloween costume) at ukulelecabaret.com/hailey, along with other tunes. Also, I have another video in the works for "Bad Modern Art." Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/haileywojcik) for newly added video. And check back here for more updates and songs!

Thanks again for the comments and messages of support. You're all so awesome!

ps... except the haters. You know who you are and y'all need to get a life.
But the rest of you, I LOVE you!

xoxoxo,
