Langley's own singer and songwriter Hailey Morgan has been chosen as one of the Top 10 in the BC's Best Teen Band Contest.

"I'm super stoked to be a part of the competition, and as the only contestant from Langley I feel proud to be representing the City and Township," Hailey told the Langley Advance.

Describing the experience as amazing, the 16-year-old Walnut Grove musician was uncertain how far she would go in the competition as a solo artist. But earlier this month she got an email: "I had actually made it into the top 10 from over 50 entries across B.C... I'm stoked."

Now, it's up to fans to speak up in the online voting stage of the competition (http://bandcontest.youthink.ca/HaileyMorganRok) to decide the top three finalists.

"I'd love to get all of Langley voting for me," Hailey said, noting the deadline is Feb. 7. Musicians with the most votes compete in the finals at Tom Lee Music Hall in Vancouver April 30.

"There aren't that many opportunities for teen musicians out there, which is what really makes Youthink Magazine's BC's Best Teen Band competition so unique," Hailey explained.
