Hozier

In September 2013, Andrew Hozier-Byrne released his single ‘Take Me To Church’. He had recorded in his parent’s house in Wicklow. Little did he know about the hurricane-strength surge in public interest that the song would spark. It would carrying him to international stardom.

10 years and billions of streams later, Hozier still calls Wicklow home. While his music takes him all over the world, Ireland, its people and places, and landscape that calls him back.

The much anticipated follow up to Hozier’s album ‘Wasteland, Baby!’ entering the Billboard Top 200 Chart at #1. 2023 was a big year for Hozier, as his debut single Take Me To Church was the 30th song ever to reach 1 billion streams. He released his third album ‘Unreal Unearth’, which charted #1 in the UK, Ireland, and Top 5 in the US, Netherlands, Germany & New Zealand.

The last decade has brought both public and critical acclaim. Multi-platinum album sales, number one records, multiple awards including a Grammy-nomination, film and video game soundtracks and countless sold-out live shows all over the world. But as Hozier prepares for 2024, his passion for his art is undimmed, and his curiosity about our world – and all that is good and bad about it – remains undiminished.
