Early life

Haller grew up on a farmhouse in Waterloo, Ontario with both of his siblings taking an interest in music, but he stated that he initially only played his brother's guitar on occasion. [4] He then was inspired to pursue music himself after seeing Australian singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd perform live while he was in high school. Soon after this, he was encouraged by a teacher in Grade 11 to enter a talent show, and began writing songs afterwards. [4]

Career

Haller began his music career playing in Kira Isabella's live band for seven years. [5] After befriending Callum Maudsley, a guitar player in the live band for the Reklaws, Haller moved in with Maudsley and the Reklaws' Stuart Walker. [6] He subsequently started touring for three years as the acoustic guitar player for the Reklaws, and credits them for showing him "how the industry works". [6] Haller began fully pursuing his solo career after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and signed with Starseed Entertainment in 2021. [4]

Haller released his debut single "Lightning in a Bottle" in March 2021, [7] and it subsequently became his first top ten on the Billboard Canada Country chart. [8] He followed it up with the promotional single "Grew Up On" in June 2021, [9] and his second radio single "Somewhere to Drink" in September 2022, which features Brett Kissel and the Reklaws. [10] [11] Haller was semi-finalist in the Sirius XM "Top of the Country" contest in 2021. [4] In January 2022, Haller released the promotional single "Broken", [7] and then followed it up with his third radio single "Ain't Like Me" in May 2022. [12] He won "Rising Star" at the 2022 Country Music Association of Ontario Awards, [13] and received a nomination in the same category at the 2022 CCMA Awards. [14] In 2023, Haller released "Take My Name" to radio. [15] He also received a nomination for "Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year" at the CCMA Awards. [16]
