Award winning country-pop act, Hayley Jensen, is set to light up the airwaves once again with her brand-new single ‘Dirt Rich', an upbeat, feel-good country-pop anthem about the simple things in life that money can't buy.
Co-written with fellow country-pop act Melanie Dyer and Nolan Wynne (who co-wrote James Johnston’s mega hits 'Small Town' and 'Same Songs'), 'Dirt Rich' is a reminder that the best things in life are free, and that true wealth isn’t measured in dollars, but in the richness of community, the beauty in nature, and a life well-lived.
Heart-felt lyrics, paired with the anthemic, foot-stomping production by award-winning duo, MSquared, make ‘Dirt Rich’ a song that resonates deeply, whether you hail from the country or simply appreciate its timeless values.
“Dirt Rich is about growing up and living in the country, where we find treasure in things that others might overlook, and that’s what makes us feel rich. It’s looking up at the beautiful night sky, free from the city lights, and feeling immense gratitude and wonder. It’s being resourceful with what you have and taking pride in the craftsmanship of a job well done, not in the material value. It’s in a moment of crisis, where people come together to help one another without an expectation of something in return. It’s family & a tight night community where everyone has each other’s back. That’s what it means to be ‘Dirt Rich’. It’s worth more than gold & proof that the best things in life are free." - says Hayley.
‘Dirt Rich’ follows the success of Jensen’s hit singles, ‘Outskirts’ & ‘Stomping Ground’, which have amassed over 1M streams across digital platforms. Both garnered extensive airplay across Australia’s major commercial country radio networks, with ‘Outskirts’ hitting #3 on the CountryTown Official Radio Charts, and both soaring in CMT Australia’s Official Top 30.
Jensen took away 2 x Independent Country Music Awards for 'Single' and 'Video of the Year' in 2025, and ‘Most Popular Female Artist’ in 2024. She was also a Finalist in both the 2022 & 2023 Golden Guitar Awards for 'Female Artist of the Year' following the success of her #1 ARIA Country Album, 'Breakin' Hearts'.
Hayley first found fame as a Top 4 Finalist on the second season of Australian Idol and later made a ‘chair-turning’ return on The Voice in Team Kylie Minogue. No stranger to the small screen, she also performed ‘True Blue ‘as part of Australia Day Live on ABC.
Known for her powerhouse vocals, Hayley is one of the most exciting live acts in the country. She's toured extensively with her own headline shows and enjoyed top billing at numerous festivals, including headlining the main stage of Tamworth Country Music Festival in 2023.
Hayley is excited to be the feature artist for PBR Australia in 2025 and will also be hitting the road March – May 2025 to celebrate the release of 'Dirt Rich' with a headline tour of NSW & VIC - on sale now.
Internationally, she's previously taken to the stage in the U.S., Canada (Calgary Stampede & Dauphin's CountryFest), Buckle & Boots in the UK, and will be heading abroad once again in May-June this year to perform at 4 UK Festivals in London, South Hampton, Wales & Manchester, before heading on to CMA Fest, Nashville.
