Xander Hays


My name is Xander Hays. I also go by Alex and Alexander. I’m working on completing my generals at Anoka Ramsey Community College in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. I’m set to graduate summer of 2023. My hobbies include guitar, singing, piano, snowboarding, mountain biking, hammocking, hiking, the gym, and clothes.

I’ve been taking guitar lessons for a few years and I took piano lessons when I was younger. Within this last year I also started taking voice lessons at school. I’m in music club at school and currently in Songwriting class. I like jamming, recording, and producing. My favorite genres I like to play is pop, alternative, and 90’s. Currently, some of my favorite artists are Mac Miller, $B$, and The Neighbourhood.

I enjoy being outside whenever I get a chance. In the winter I go snowboarding at Trollhaugen and Elm Creek and in the summertime I like to go hiking and find new places to hammock.

I like going thrifting at different Good Wills, bins, 2nd hand stores, thrift shops in the twin cities, and vintage fests.

I’ve always wanted to travel to Greece.
