Indie songwriter Hazlett was born and raised in Australia, and after spending a lot of time abroad, he made a grand return home to support David Kushner. After years of playing bars in his native Australia, Hazlett's unique brand of indie ballroom folk was crystallised by a chance encounter during a road trip to Sweden. It was there that he found the fabled collaborative chemistry in close friend Freddy Alexander. A lot has changed since then, and what started as just writing songs to figure something out has now become a whole world of music and beautiful details to move through. Hazlett's debut album Bloom Mountain was released in 2023. You may never have met him, but listening to Hazlett sometimes feels like the only friend you've ever had.
