Hozier Biography

Born on St. Patrick's Day and hailing from County Wicklow Ireland Hozier was raised on the building blocks of popular music: rhythm and blues soul jazz and the deep dark stuff stretching from Chicago to the Delta. He joined his first band when he was 15 years old fronting a soul band with some older heads. He taught himself to play guitar and piano and went to Trinity College to study music. Whilst there he bagged a seat on the flight deck of the symphonic B-52 that is the Trinity Orchestra fronting their missions into the world of classic rock.
However four years looked like a long stretch particularly when the goal was to write record and perform his own music; so Hozier dropped out to concentrate his talents on the creative process full time. He tried out with a few different producers in various studios experimented with genres; but never felt happy with the results. Home is where the art is and a simple studio set up in the attic proved to be the crucible where Hozier would forge a musical identity he could call his own. A place where Stevie Wonder and Billie Holiday are revered alongside James Joyce and Oscar Wilde.
He says: “Listen to any song from any era; and you're looking through a keyhole into the artist's world as seen through their eyes. Art is in it's simplest form the reproduction of the world around us. All artists reproduce their vision of the world and in doing so create a document that reflects the times they live in”. Which brings us back to the 21st century blues and Hozier's unique poetic evocations.
