It's International Women's Day and the artist formerly known as Haley Bonar is celebrating with a name change. From now on, she will be known simply as HALEY. The artist announced her decision through a post on Facebook today, revealing that not only will her stage name be changing, but her legal one as well. In honor of her maternal family, her last name is now McCallum, her mother's maiden name.
In the post, HALEY discusses how she has had to constantly correct mispronunciations of her last name her entire life, and dealt with "humiliation" from the jokes and correlations that people have made with it. The entirety of the post is as follows:
HALEY's newest solo album is Impossible Dream. She is also a member of Gramma's Boyfriend, who released their newest track "is the Terrorist" on February 15. She is currently on tour in the U.K and Ireland.
