In 2023, Haywood made his television debut as lead singer of the band Gamblers in the Neon on the AXS show "Banded: The Musician Competition" and he appeared at the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival (2023 and 2024).
Haywood has written hundreds of songs since landing in Music City, establishing a unique sound and authentic storytelling.
