Amber Hayes - "Wait"

Stepping center stage as leading lady Kathy Twitty in the acclaimed musical production, 'It's Only Make Believe', Amber Hayes knew she was treading on hallowed ground. Playing the daughter of legendary Country singer Conway Twitty to packed theater audiences across the country was a job the gifted singer took to heart.

"Conway Twitty, and all the great traditionalists - I have such great respect for what they did. Musically, they built the road that led us to where we are today," Amber acknowledges. And while she's traveled a long way from her rural Oklahoma origins, Amber has always made it a point to stick close to that path of tradition.

Even as a young girl, Amber was a standout talent. She was named one of "America's Ten Most Beautiful Children" by Globe Magazine and was selected as a finalist for Disney's "The Mickey Mouse Club," along with Pop music sensations Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. "As exciting as that was," Amber recalls
of her near brush with child stardom, "at the time I couldn't imagine leaving home for Orlando and splitting up my family."

Infused with a down-home Country sound accented with fiddle and steel guitar, Her song,'C'mon' was the outlet that allowed Amber to get personal in a way that musical theater never did. Her energy shines through in the album's Top 40 debut single, the innocently flirtatious "C'mon," while "Can't Take It Back" reveals the singer's more sensitive side. The true-to-life narrative "Right as Rain" invokes the tiny town where Amber was raised and her struggles in deciding to leave it. The second single from C'mon is the powerful and
yearning "Wait," a song which provides the inspiration behind Amber's first music video, shot by three-time CMT Director of the Year, Steven Goldmann.

"'Wait' is a song that was written about bumping into someone at the grocery store or coffee shop," Amber explains. "You kind of have this moment with a stranger in a public place, and then you find yourself wondering if it was meant to be something more than just this random meeting. It's about that moment of indecision where you either take a chance, or you wait and pass it up."

Fortunately, Amber Hayes took a chance of a lifetime that day she returned to Nashville to follow her dreams, and there's no doubt that is exactly where she is meant to be.
