Hayden was a senior music major at Wright State University, Fairborn, OH. He was also enrolled at Ron West Barber School, Dayton, OH. Hayden had a special attraction to senior citizens, so when his schedule permitted he worked part-time as an activities director at Wooded Glen Assisted Living Facility, Springfield, OH.

At an early age, Hayden begin mastering the piano, playing a unique variety of gospel music ranging from old spirituals and hymns to traditional and contemporary, blended with a hint of classical.
