然而故事真正開始於十年前。Hayley六歲時就在學校的聖誕演出中擔任領舞和領唱。正是在這次表演中Jill和Gerald Westenra首次目睹了他們女兒的非凡天賦。演出之后一名教師走到Jill面前,告訴她:Hayley有完美的樂感,建議她練習樂器以發揮她的天賦。這樣Hayley就開始了小提琴訓練。正是從那時開始的這種訓練是促使她的生活與音樂結緣的最初動力。
在2000年Hayley錄制了一張試播唱片,大體上被當作她自稱的“紀念品”。這張私人珍藏——僅僅壓制了1000張拷貝——打開了她通向未來的大門。在這張CD錄制完成的當天,Hayley和她的妹妹Sophie(歌手、小提琴家兼鋼琴家,同時她們的弟弟Isaac吹奏長笛)在Christchurch街頭進行了表演。她們倆很快引來了許多熱情的群眾。一名婦女詢問她們的唱片是否已經錄制好了。一位本地電視台的記者是這兩位年輕藝人的歌迷,不久,Hayley的表演就在電視台上播出。這次亮相引起了一位新西蘭音樂會的主要發起人Gray Bartlett的注意,不久,她獲得了一份與Universal Music New Zealand的合同。
Hayley親自題名的為Universal New Zealand發行的首張唱片具有表演音樂同古典名曲相融合的折衷主義特征;這張專籍一直沖到了流行排行榜的榜首(在這個位置保持了四周),成為三白金碟,並使Hayley成為新西蘭曆史上最炙手可熱的本地藝術家。當聖誕大碟《My Gift To You》成為白金碟之后,一切都隨之而來。
Hayley很快吸引了倫敦的Decca音樂集團(該集團與Universal New Zealand有合作關係)的注意,並跟她簽定了一份國際性的唱片合同。這就導致了Hayley的第一張國際大碟《PURE》的誕生。
在《PURE》中Hayley對歌曲的選擇已經向新的藝術領域進行了突破:“過去我唱show tunes和輕古典音樂。那都是一個類型,而現在我已經作出了許多改變。我將做一些更極端的嘗試,譬如更嚴肅的古典音樂和更為流行的歌曲。制作這些專輯已經拓寬了我的演唱方式,我已經逐漸形成了不同的演唱風格。”
Hayley把自己首先看作是一名古典音樂表演者,但她不願自己陷入類型化的窠臼,在《PURE》中她對流行音樂領域和傳統毛利人的合唱進行了探索,並賦予著名的古典保留曲目以嶄新的清新風貌。這張專輯的制作人Giles Martin征集了許多人來協助Hayley完成這個任務,其中包括自己的父親——傳奇的Beatles樂隊的制作人George Martin爵士;這張專輯具有如此獨特的吸引力,他們都作出了自己的貢獻。“和這些具有如此天賦的人,以及George爵士這樣精明的人一起共事,這絕對是一個榮譽。而且Giles也是如此的務實和隨和。”

美國新世紀全才音樂家( David Arkenstone )大衛.阿肯史東 專輯23張
David Arkenstone被公認爲是一位最能在聲音中創造視覺意像的新世紀大師。(Valley In The Clouds) 此專輯是他的首張專輯,專輯的出現在當時具有很強烈的衝擊性及引導性。正值電子音樂開始探索新形式風格之際,David Arkenstone利用鋼琴、吉他、豎琴、穆格電子琴等樂器爲廣大聽樂者展現了一個新的音樂風格領域,因而獲得AMG五星的最高評定!對以後新世紀音樂的發展起到一定的引導作用。
David Arkenstone擅長將各種全球音樂,電影音樂和搖滾元素糅合在他自己豐富的new age音樂中,他在10歲的時候從芝加哥搬遷到加利福尼亞,從那時起,他就開始接觸各種音樂,並在各種樂隊裏面擔任鍵盤手和吉他手。
後來他受到Kitaro的充滿異國情調的音樂的影響,開始投身於new age音樂。而電腦和樂器之間越來越多的融合也更加鼓舞了他的創作。他的大部分作品都部分或者全部來源於他的蘋果機以及電子混音器和吉他。這種電子音樂背景的曲風在他1998年的專輯Book of Days和他另一個專案Troika裏面得到了充分的體現。2000年中,Arkenstone出了一張新專輯Caravan of Light,1年後,又出了一張名爲Frontier的新專輯。2002年Arkenstone獲得了2項格萊美提名和多首new age音樂上榜記錄。而且他的成功隨著他在2002年6月推出的專輯Sketches From An American Journey還在繼續。在10歲那年從芝加哥搬到加利福尼亞後,David Arkenstone把自己全部貢獻給了音樂,在高中和大學期間,他作爲鍵盤手和吉他手,先後參加了許多樂隊和表演團體。後來,他還在全國進行了流行音樂的巡迴演出。當他接觸到Kitaro的充滿異國情調的音樂後,他開始投身到new age音樂,並且開始創作有著他自己獨特風格的音樂。電腦和樂器之間越來越多的融合也給了他創作靈感,當他發現這兩者之間能很好地溝通的時候,Arkenstone知道自己的時代來臨了。通過使用電腦,他能夠創作出各種原來他只能憑空想象的音樂。他大部分的作品都部分或者全部來源於他的蘋果機以及電子混音器和吉他,還有一些其他的樂器。Arkenstone通過把各種全球音樂,電影音樂和搖滾元素糅合在他自己獨特的new age音樂中,發行了多張專輯,其中特別突出的有IN THE WAKE OF THE WIND和THE CELTIC BOOK OF DAYS。同時他也爲許多電影和電視記錄片創作了主題曲。這些主題曲都和故事主題完美地切合,後來也收錄在他自己的專輯中
