Wes Haney began writing songs and leading worship at the young age of 13. He grew up leading worship at his home church in Springfield, OH. During his High School years he was the lead singer and songwriter in multiple local bands. In 2015 Wes attended the Music & Creative Arts Discipleship Training School with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Gold Coast, Australia, where he met his wife, Lilly. They got married in 2016 and welcomed their daughter in 2021.
Having led worship professionally all over the world, Wes currently serves as the Executive Pastor and Worship Director at The Bridge in his hometown, Springfield, OH.
Wes’s heart is to create music that deeply reflects his passion for full surrender and intimacy with Jesus, and to help others experience the love of God in new ways. Wes released his first single “Exposure” (2018), followed by “Inheritance” (2019) and has continued to shape his style and leave the shore of the contemporary worship sound. Wes’ debut album “Dawn” (2020) and newer releases such as “The Light” (2021) and “Into New Normal” (2022) perfectly bring to life a new experience of worship through his innovative approach to sound and lyrics.
Wes is an avid runner and loves to listen to upbeat music while he runs. It was through this that he discovered his love for electronic music early on. Though he found electronic music powerful and even worshipful, there seemed to be something missing lyrically. Wes wanted to combine the energy and passion of EDM with the humble heart position and exaltation of Jesus in worship lyrics.
With lush pads, hard hitting drums and melodic arpeggios, Wes’s unique “DJ” style live sets and Jesus focused lyrics are paving a new path for people who want to worship Jesus in new ways.
