About Haynz 

Haynz is a music platform for fans and independent artists seeking trustworthy curation and practical guidance.

The site covers music news, new releases, heritage artists, live shows and the realities of releasing music independently. The focus is on western artists and English-language music, with additional coverage of major tours and live events in the UAE.

Haynz is curated and edited by Darren Haynes, a music industry professional with over 30 years’ experience working across music marketing, promotion and artist development. That experience shapes how stories are selected, how artists are featured, and how advice is given.

The goal is simple: to inform, entertain, and support music and the people who make it, without hype or spin.

Editorial policy

Independence and curation

Haynz operates as a curated editorial platform. Coverage is selected based on relevance, quality and interest to the audience, not on volume or trend-chasing.

Paid content

Some artist features, reviews and promotional articles are paid placements. These are clearly disclosed as paid or sponsored content. Payment does not guarantee positive coverage. Haynz reserves the right to decline submissions that are not a good editorial fit.

Use of AI

AI tools may be used to assist with research, drafting or rewriting, but all published content is reviewed and curated to meet editorial standards.

Accuracy and sources

News articles are based on publicly available information and reputable sources. Errors are corrected when identified.

Music submissions

Submitting music does not guarantee coverage. Editorial discretion always applies.
