早期生活

安德鲁·约翰·赫齐尔-伯恩（Andrew John Hozier-Byrne）于 1990年3月17日出生于威克洛郡，母亲是艺人雷恩·赫齐尔-伯恩（Raine Hozier-Byrne），父亲约翰·伯恩（John Byrne）是当地一名蓝调鼓手，白天在银行上班。他从 15 岁起就开始写歌，自学吉他并在学校合唱团唱歌。他在德尔加尼国立学校接受教育。他的父母都是天主教徒，但后来皈依了贵格会。尽管如此，他后来还是进入了天主教圣杰拉德学校，之后进入都柏林圣三一学院学习音乐教育。他因为要为一家音乐厂牌录制试听歌曲而错过了考试，因此被学校拒绝延期一年入学。

职业生涯

2008–2012：事业起步

在三一学院期间，赫齐尔加入了三一学院管弦乐团。2009年至2012年，他是合唱团Anúna的成员并随其巡回演出，并在2014年发行的专辑《Illuminations》中作为独唱歌手演唱了《La Chanson de Mardi Gras》。 Hozier 曾在2009年和2010年爱尔兰的Oxegen 音乐节演出。2012年，赫齐尔担任了比利·欧逊的伴唱歌手。

2013–2017：事业突破

2013年，赫齐尔在都柏林开放麦之夜演出间隙创作了歌曲《带我去教堂》；这首歌的早期试听版本使得他与独立唱片公司Rubyworks Records签约。签约后，他与制作人Rob Kirwan合作录制一张专辑，曲目的样本版本最初在他的阁楼录音室录制。 2013年7月3日，赫齐尔发行了他的首张迷你专辑，也称为《带我去教堂》，登上了Billboard 200榜单。同名歌曲于2013年9月以单曲形式发行。该音乐影片涉及恐同主题，于同月发布。影片制作预算很低，全程以黑白胶片拍摄。该影片被英国演员斯蒂芬·弗莱在网上分享后登上Reddit首页，随后成为热门影片。这首歌曲获得了在多个排行榜登上前五名，也获得了多白金认证；这首歌的歌词和含义也获得了乐评人的一致好评。迷你专辑的最后一首歌“Cherry Wine”出现在扎克·布拉夫的电影《希望我在这里》中，因其“令人心碎的歌词和诗意”而入选。赫齐尔后来在爱尔兰的《深夜秀》节目上演唱了这首歌。 2014年3月，Hozier发行了他的第二张EP《From Eden》。

Early life

Hozier was born near Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland on 17 March 1990, the son of Raine Hozier and John Byrne. He has one older brother named Jon. Around the time he was born, his father John worked as a local banker and in the evenings played as a jazz and blues drummer. His mother Raine was a stay-at-home artist. When Hozier was six years old, his father underwent spinal surgery, and although he survived despite numerous complications, he needed a wheelchair from then on. Hozier's father was unemployed for a few years, which put a severe financial strain on the family.

Hozier began writing songs at the age of 15, taught himself guitar and sang in his school choir. He was educated at Delgany National School. He was raised a Quaker. He later attended St. Gerard's School before studying music education at Trinity College Dublin. He missed exams to record demos for a music label and was refused a year's deferral by the college.
