Getting Intimate With #003 - Hazlett

Following on from the glorious success of his previously unveiled singles ‘Fireworks’ and ‘Suncats’ from earlier this year, Australian singer and songwriter Hazlett recently returned to deliver his next indie-pop belter ‘Monsters’, a track that has led many to compare his work to the likes of Ben Howard and Dean Lewis.

And as an artist known to adopt an intimate approach to writing music, we thought we would get up close and personal with the frontman to find out some of his more secluded habits.


Last time I cried was…
This morning. I was looking at videos and photos of my dog Rupert back home

When I'm stressed I…
Play basketball. It’s the only thing I can do with a one-track mind

The album I play over and over again is…
I fall asleep to ‘For Emma Forever Ago’ by Bon Iver & I wake up to ‘Aha Shake Heartbreak’ by Kings of Leon

The last person I spoke to on the phone was…
My beautiful Mum

My favourite place in the world is…
Florence, Italy

My favourite comfort food dish is…
Mushroom & truffle risotto, and a glass of red. Wine gums for dessert

My biggest regret is…
Being too afraid to sing up until a few years ago

The movie I watch when I'm sad is…
How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days

My last thought before falling asleep last night was…
I hope people like ‘Monsters’

The last book I read was…
Learning Italian: An Introduction
