Ben Hazlewood is an anthemic alt-pop artist based in Melbourne. With an artist father and a mother who owned a dance studio, Ben’s creative journey seemed to be written in the stars. After training as a professional dancer in his mother’s studio, Ben felt that music was the path he needed to take. He moved to London and joined a three-piece band called “The Scheme.” After the band disbanded, Hazlewood became a member of Joel Madden’s team on Australia’s inaugural season of The Voice and kicked off his solo music career.
With two EPs and an album under his belt, Ben has been hard at work, writing music alongside New Zealand artist, Gin Wigmore. In 2018, he released three songs, included “Months & Miles” which was featured in Billboard. Ben has been hard at work in 2019, releasing three songs, including “Grave Relief,” which is arguably his most personal song to date.
His new song “Louder Than Thunder” is out now. Ben boasts over 1M views on YouTube, and has been featured in Popdust, Huffington Post, and The Advocate.
