Hozier songs download free :
A unique and intelligent singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist
who cites James Joyce's Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, Leonard
Cohen, John Lee Hooker, and community choral singing among his
influences, Hozier (his stage and performing name) was born Andrew
Hozier-Byrne on March 17, 1990 (which just so happened to be St.
Patrick's Day) in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. The son of a local
blues musician, he literally grew up with the blues being played all
around him. He joined his first band when he was 15, gravitating toward
R&B, soul, gospel, and, of course, blues. Hozier started studying
for a degree in music at Trinity College Dublin, where he was involved
with the Trinity Orchestra, but dropped out in his first year to record
demos for Universal Music. From 2009 to 2012, he sang with Anúna, an
Irish choral group, and toured internationally. He released a solo EP,
Take Me to Church, in 2013, and when a video for the powerful title
track, which directly addresses gay discrimination in Russia, went viral
on YouTube and Reddit, Hozier found himself with an international
audience. A second EP, From Eden, appeared in the spring of 2014 and in
September of that year, Columbia released his eponymous debut album. ~
