Elegantly blending tempos,
HAIVYN instruments, and voices, Haivyn
isn’t afraid to try something
outside the box and doesn’t let
itself be defined by one single
genre. Vocals and
instrumentation are all rock-solid,
alternative, progressive and
appealing. You will literally see in
your mind what you hear when
you listen to Haivyn. Haivyn is on
to something here.
Some might say she's
intimidating, and others
admiringly call her the perfect
example of a strong rock femme.
Denise Joy’s booming bravado
voice reminiscent of a punk-
coated Janis switches on a dime
to a clean powerful, yet feminine
and uplifting tone that lathers
listeners. Denise's octave range is
self-created. As a kid, Mariah
Carey Karaoke was her vocal
coach. She gives this credit for her
ability to reach her high angelic
notes. Denise's lyrical writing
style reflects real-life stories
written from a common
denominator view. Her lyrics are
what deeply connect her to fans.
Each song experienced and
delivered with tailor-made
messaging personalized for its
specific listener. As dark as some
songs might sound to the ear, listeners receive Denise’s innate nurturing way that lifts them up and
gets them thinking. Her love of sound shows with how her voice dances or holds steady within the
music, sometimes following, sometimes not. What exactly is Dave Paredes doing with that guitar
sound and how did he come up with those out of bound ideas? He plays with no traditional rule
breaking; breaking the rules of ‘Breaking the Rules’. Live shows always end with the question from
some musician in the crowd asking ‘How did you come up with that?’ ‘Who are your influences?’
Well the influences are everything from sounds from a Godzilla Movie to a Horror flick type noise,
to imagined hip hop samples and tweaks, and a blender full of all rock progressions. Also writing
and recording bass on some tunes, Dave is on to something here with dominant, fluid guitar
supporting the edgy voice of Denise.
