Hayley Kiyoko

Early life

Hayley Kiyoko Alcroft was born on April 3, 1991, in Los Angeles, California, to Canadian figure skater and choreographer Sarah Kawahara and actor/comedian Jamie Alcroft. Her mother is of Japanese ancestry and her father is from Ohio and has English and Scottish ancestry. Kiyoko has two siblings, Alysse and Thatcher.

She began acting at a young age, appearing in national commercials for brands such as GM Onstar, Slim Jim, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Insisting on drum lessons at age six, she was writing drum charts for new releases and selling them in a local music store by age 11. At age 8, Kiyoko wrote a song called "Notice," which her father still urges her to release. She was elected student council president of her middle school and high school freshman classes

She created and choreographed "The Agoura High Step Team" which was faculty-approved as a school club under her direction. The team placed third at a Nationals competition in 2009. Upon graduation, she was accepted into Clive Davis School of Recorded Music at New York University but initially deferred until eventually declining due to career opportunities.

Kiyoko was discovered at the age of five when she went with her friend to a photoshoot. The director asked her to step in front of the camera, and she ended up in a national print ad for KnowledgeWare.

Children's cable TV network Nickelodeon spotted her at the Culver City Ice Rink, and she ended up featured in and narrating a short piece about children in sports called, "I'm Hayley, a Skater". Kiyoko continued to hone her skills in middle school plays and, in seventh grade, asked for an agent after seeing Eurasian girls like herself act in J. C. Penney commercials. Kiyoko started the garage band Hede, named after her grandfather, in November 2007 and released five songs on Myspace and a music video for "Warehouse". The band performed locally on several occasions and split in 2009 after the remaining band members left for college. Her grandfather died in 2011. He was one of the biggest inspirations in Kiyoko's life.

Personal life

Sexuality and musical influence

Kiyoko is a lesbian. She has stated that she knew she was attracted to girls when she was six years old, coming out to her parents in the sixth grade. Upon realizing she liked girls, she grew up struggling with those feelings, fearing rejection and judgment if she came out. Kiyoko wanted to inspire confidence in young people dealing with the same struggles. Kiyoko's music is focused on her story and emotions she has experienced while coming to terms with her identity. The "This Side of Paradise" music video focuses on her struggles with expressing her true self and the "Gravel to Tempo" music video draws on her experiences with having crushes on girls while growing up. In a 2016 interview, she expressed her frustration about not connecting to people the way she wanted. When Lily May-Young, one of the co-writers for "Girls Like Girls", asked Kiyoko what was something about herself that no one else knew and that she was afraid to sing about, Kiyoko said she wanted to sing about how she likes girls, but was struggling to be out about that. Through her music, Kiyoko works to normalize lesbian relationships in a society and music industry that she sees as being very heteronormative:

After seeing the impact her music has on her fans, Kiyoko has stated that she regretted not being open about her sexuality sooner. She is now dubbed "Lesbian Jesus" by her fans.

Since April 2018, Kiyoko has been dating former Bachelor contestant Becca Tilley. The couple initially kept their relationship private and confirmed it in May 2022 after Tilley appeared in Kiyoko's music video "For the Girls", which is inspired by The Bachelor. Prior to this, Tilley used the nickname "95p" to refer to Kiyoko when talking about the relationship on Tilley's podcast Scrubbing In. Hayley appears on the podcast on September 19, 2022, with the episode "A Deep Scrub: Hayley Kiyoko". On July 10, 2025, Kiyoko and Tilley announced that they are engaged, with Kiyoko proposing to Tilley. Later, on the same day, on an episode of iHeartRadio's Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad podcast, they said the engagement happened a week before in a nudist beach in Mallorca, Spain.

Kiyoko's song "Mercy/Gatekeeper" talks about the depression she dealt with after suffering from her concussion.

LGBT advocacy

Since publicly coming out, Kiyoko has been an advocate for LGBT rights and is widely considered to be a gay icon by her fans, who have nicknamed her 'Lesbian Jesus'. Her music videos highlight her own experiences and various LGBT-related issues. The music video for "One Bad Night" raised awareness of violence against transgender women. In 2018, Kiyoko critiqued Rita Ora's song, "Girls", for its depiction of same-sex attraction and harmful implications for the LGBT community. Ora later apologized for the song's implications. After 78 bras were thrown at Kiyoko during the Expectations Tour, she and Neara Russell donated them to I Support The Girls, an organization that supports homeless women, to support homeless LGBT youth. In her acceptance speech for Push Artist of the Year at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, Kiyoko dedicated her win to queer women of color.

Politics

In 2016, she supported Hillary Clinton and expressed dismay at Donald Trump winning the U.S. Presidential Election. In 2018, Kiyoko was praised by HeadCount for helping her fans to register to vote while she was supporting Panic! at the Disco's Pray for the Wicked Tour. She endorsed Joe Biden for the 2020 United States presidential election in a tweet following Biden's announcement Kamala Harris would be his running mate.
