Arejay Hale

Arejay Hale, drummer and resident wild child of the hard rock group Halestorm, first realized his hunger for the drums at the ripe age of three. “My parents bought my sister a little toy drum kit for her birthday, and I would sneak in to her room to play it when she wasn’t around,” he laughs. “After being caught bashing the hell out of the poor defenseless set of drums several times, my parents and sister eventually just gave it to me, and I haven’t stopped since!” A few years later, Arejay and his sister Lzzy started Halestorm, he was only 10 years old. “The biggest challenge we faced growing up was giving up a normal life to commit to making music full time. We didn’t have all the luxuries that other kids had. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up, and any money our parents made went back into buying guitars, drums, amps, PA speakers, lights and yes…even pyro,” says Arejay.
