Hazlett

Hazlett is an independent, multi-instrumentalist, singing and songwriting rocker from western Canada. Currently working out of the Edmonton, Alberta area, Hazlett grew up on a diverse musical diet consisting of Lenny Kravitz, U2, Queen, The Tragically Hip, the Smashing Pumpkins, Jamiroquai, and Jeff Buckley to name a few. He has played in a band of some kind or other for the better part of 25 years, developing his songcraft and refining his guitar, bass, drums, and vocal styles along the way. A completely self-taught musician, Hazlett is also self-taught in the studio. Out of necessity, he personally hones his art all the way from the songwriting stage to the final mastered product. With the exception of drums (“Brodie is just better than me” he says), everything you hear in his songs are played, sung, recorded, mixed, and mastered by him, which delivers a uniquely personal perspective. Very rarely do you hear music that is so completely the product of the person who wrote it. His songs come directly from his “Sweet Piggy Studios” (currently located next to the laundry room in a storage space) to your ears. Currently engaged in a full-time professional career and part-time career as a Reservist in the Canadian Armed Forces, Hazlett’s music career is carried out on the evenings and weekends he is not busy with family or working as a soldier. Upon returning from a deployment in Kuwait, he completed the album “Fake Freedom”.
