Despite being signed to Atlantic Records since she was 13 years old, Hayley Williams didn't make it to the big time until after she joined forces with the Farro brothers - Zack and Josh - to form Paramore.
At the time, the label were adamant on marketing Williams as a pop singer, rather than the fiery emo/rock vocalist she grew to be years later. But from their earliest days, Paramore have continually proved that Williams was destined to front a rock band rather than becoming the pop princess that her label envisioned, with a constant stream of hits that would see them lauded as linchpins of the mid noughties emo scene, and, as per their later career, irreplaceable genre-bending, indie rock pioneers.
