It’s a brand new start for HAZEN. In 2010, he had finished up over a year of extensive US and Canadian tours in support of his second album, and relocated to the city of Orlando, Florida. In 2012, he recorded a cover of the Smashing Pumpkins’ song 1979 with DJ/Producer George Acosta, which became a summer smash and exposed HAZEN to an entirely new global audience. His contribution to the song landed HAZEN several other songwriting and feature artist deals for single releases with popular European DJs. Thanks to the worldwide explosion in popularity of House music, HAZEN’s songwriting and vocal chops have been showcased at major festivals and radio stations throughout Europe and Asia. Since that time, HAZEN released a handful of singles, saw his music get placed on several TV shows, and became the touring guitarist/vocalist for indie pop-rockers Like The Movies. When he wasn’t busy with his other projects, HAZEN would spend his days in and out of various central Florida studios writing songs with local producers and songwriters. Time in the studio helped expand his musical palette, and over the last few years he has acquired a large, eclectic catalog of original music.
