“Music has always been my first love, but acting holds such a special place in my heart. Storytelling & performing are essential to who I am regardless of the format.”

Known mostly for her role as Erica Goldberg in the decade-long hit ABC sitcom “The Goldbergs”, Hayley Orrantia has proven herself to be a multi-hyphenate in the entertainment industry. Hayley’s love of music was the catalyst to her career when she began music classes at a very young age. She moved into the professional world at fifteen after recording background vocals for albums like Hannah Montana Forever & Camp Rock 2. At seventeen, she auditioned for The X Factor USA Season 1 as a solo artist and was placed into a group on the show with three other girls, calling themselves Lakoda Rayne. They were the last group standing in the final live shows of the season and placed 9th in the competition. A year later, Hayley booked her role in The Goldbergs. Since the start of her acting career on the show, Hayley has starred the Pureflix film “God’s Not Dead 2” and the Lionsgate holiday rom-com “Christmas Is Canceled”, both of which featured original songs by Hayley.

Parallel to her acting endeavors, Hayley has been releasing music as an independent singer and songwriter. Over the course of her music career, Hayley has released a series of songs including an EP titled “The Way Out”, featuring her breakout single “If I Don’t”. Collectively, her music has realized over 3 million streams.

In spring of 2023, Hayley competed on The Masked Singer as The Ringmaster where she placed as runner up in the competition. She has opened for several artists such as Brad Paisley, Colbie Caillat and Easton Corbin. Hayley also conducted her first successful headlining tour, The Strong Sweet & Southern Tour, visiting 22 cities across the US. In the same year, she performed on several CMA Fest stages, including hosting the main stage at Nissan Stadium.

Since the conclusion of The Goldbergs after a ten season run, Hayley has pursued a passion for producing, having started Baggage Claim Productions alongside her partner, Greg Furman. She has produced award-winning short films such as JOE (directed by Greg Furman) which won Best Comedy Short Film at Burbank International Film Festival and All Four Won (directed by Nick Galarza).
