Next Section-Biography:
Who will it be about? Well, I just heard one of their songs for the first time on the radio the other day. Yes I know, I’m a slacker. The lucky band will be Hozier! The song that I heard was obviously “Take Me To Church”. I’m actually listening to it as I type. Also, it just mysteriously appeared on my top ten list as number three. THAT right there is a big accomplishment. Now, without further ado, I present you with Hozier’s biography!

Hozier Biography:
Hozier’s real name is Andrew Hozier-Byrne. He was born on March 17th, 1990. He grew up in Bray, County Wicklow in Ireland. In a way, he was destined to be a musician seeing as it runs in his family. That’s right everybody! Andrew’s father was a musician. He started off with a music degree at Trinity College Dublin. Andrew participated in the school’s orchestra. However, he dropped out of college halfway through his first year in order to record music for Universal Music (a studio). He started off his career in 2009 when he joined the band Anúna. His voice was actually showcased in a song from their 2012 album, Illumination. He was a soloist for the single “La Chanson de Mardis Gras”. I find this to be the major training point in Andrew’s career and just like that, Hozier (the band) was born. He released his EP Take Me to Church. The single “Take Me to Church” was number one in Ireland and number two on the OFFICIAL CHART on October 25th, 2013. Hozier released his second EP From Eden shortly thereafter. He sold out all of his shows in May this year in LESS THAN 15 MINUTES! Hozier will be releasing his debut album at the end of the summer. I can’t wait to hear more of his music!
