 * Hayley has been the lead singer and a song writer for paramore since she was the age of 15.** **Paramore began in Franklin, Tennessee, where Hayley Williams met brothers Josh and Zac Farro after moving to town from Mississippi. The 2 brothers were already in a band with lead guitarist Taylor York But they were without a singer. Hayley soon left the band and got signed with Atlantic records as a solo artist instead of a singer in a band. She convinced Atlantic Records to sign the Farro brothers, Taylor and Jeremy with her. ****To help attract a younger audience, Atlantic decided to share the band with Fueled by Ramen, a Florida-based label with a strong roster of emo-pop acts. Fueled by Ramen officially co-signed the group in April 2005, and Paramore's full-length debut, "All We Know Is Falling", was released later that summer. One of paramore's albums ****"Riot! turned Paramore into industry heavyweights, going platinum within its first 13 months of release and earning the band a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. ****The band paramore currently consists of Hayley (the singer), Taylor (the guitarist) and Jeremy (the bassist).**
