Hayley's third solo album is a very personal collection of classical arias, Irish and Maori folk songs - representing treasured people and places on her remarkable musical journey. Recorded in Dublin, Ireland, Hayley's third solo album is a very personal collection of classical arias, Irish and Maori folk songs - representing treasured people and places in her remarkable musical journey. For the first time the album also includes several original tracks written by Hayley herself. Celtic Treasure is a celebration of Hayley's family roots, and her grandparent's journey across the World on the first boat that left Ireland for New Zealand in the 1880s - taking with them a rich musical heritage. Her grandmother - a singer, and her grandfather, who played the accordion, were to be important influences on Hayley's musical development. Hayley grew up hearing her grandmother singing Italian opera arias in English. Hayley has continued this tradition by recording the well-known aria One Fine Day... ('Un bel di) from Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Hayley's grandmother also sang Irish folk tunes, and Hayley includes one of them - Danny Boy on the album as a tribute to her. Another Irish folk tune Sonny, is the first recording in which Hayley accompanies herself on the piano. In the same vein as Hayley's signature song Pokarekare Ana from her debut album Pure, Hayley's deep sense of pride as a New Zealander, and the simple beauty of her voice come together in E Para Ra - a Maori lovesong reflecting her own love of her homeland. Hayley's first recordings of her own songs bring together all these musical influences. They include her compositions Let Me Lie and Summer Rain and her lyrics to a haunting lute song by the Elizabethan English composer John Dowland, called simply Melancholy Interlude.

海莉·韦斯特娜，1987年4月10日出生于新西兰基督城，是来自新西兰的跨界女高音、歌曲作家，还是一名热衷于公益和慈善的人。曾在亚洲成功发行过八张专辑。

海莉(Hayley) 来自一个音乐世家，她母亲吉尔（Jill) 的妈妈雪莉（Shirley Ireland）有着非常动听的声线，而她的父亲杰拉德（Gerry）仅需要听一遍乐曲，便可以将它们演奏出来。海莉的家人们相信，海莉漂亮的声线是由她外祖母雪莉那儿遗传得来的。并且，在海莉两岁时，她就已经在姨母卡萝尔（Carol) 的婚礼上演唱了《平安夜(Silent Night）》，而她的家人们并不为此感到大惊小怪。

12 岁时，海莉去了一间专业的录音室录制了《Walkingin the Air》。这是一张分发送给家人朋友的纪念唱片。当时仅仅制作了 1000 份副本（如今已成为海莉迷们心目中的无价藏品）。

她在国际上成名是在签约迪卡（Decca）唱片公司（环球唱片子公司），发行了《纯》（Pure）这张熔古典、轻流行和毛利族传统曲风的唱片之后才开始的。

在 Hayley Westenra 的第一张专辑发行后很短时间内，这个 16 岁，来自于 Christchurch 的新西兰女孩已经在音乐业界创造了历史。单单在发行的第一周《纯》便获得 19068 张的销量，飙升至英国古典音乐榜的首位，这张唱片成为了英国古典音乐榜历史上销量增长最快的处女专辑。并进入到英国流行音乐榜上第八名的位置。迄今，《纯》已经卖出了 200 万张。在海莉的家乡新西兰，《纯》已经被授予 10 白金的荣誉，这也使得海莉成为该国历史上所有音乐流派中唱片销量最好的歌手。

2006年8月，海莉加入了爱尔兰民乐美声女子组合——凯尔特女人（Celtic Woman），并出现在了她们的第二张主要 DVD/CD大碟《Celtic Woman - A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle》里。9月5日，海莉被《 JuniorChamber International 》杂志评为“2006年度全世界十佳年轻人”奖项，成为新西兰第一个获此殊荣的人。

2007年3月，海莉在美国推出新专辑《凯尔特宝贝》（Celtic Treasure），于美国纽约献唱。5月6日，海莉在美国水晶大教堂献唱赞美歌”主与我同在”（Abide With Me)。7月，她参与录制了伯恩斯坦(Leonard Bernstein）的大作——伟大的音乐剧西区故事的50周年重录，该专辑被提名第50届格莱美奖。年底，海莉在日本的福冈，札幌，东京，仙台，名古屋，横滨，广岛，大阪等城市成功举行了“宝贝”系列演唱会。

2007 年发布个人专辑《Treasure》。

2008年6月，海莉在日本推出新的亚洲地区专辑《Hayley sings Japanese Songs》。10月，海莉在英国和新西兰推出一张精选专辑《River of Dreams》。

2009年3月，海莉在日本推出另一张亚洲地区专辑《Hayley sings Japanese Songs 2》。

2009年圣诞节节期，海莉在英国成功举行魅力冬日（WinterMagic）演唱会。
