Hazlett didn’t grow up chasing music, nor fame and fortune.

He started his solo career at 26 after years of playing bass and a stint in advertising.

In this episode, Hazlett reflects on what it really means to back yourself later than most, the leap that took him from Australia to Sweden, and the creative partnership with producer Freddy Alexander that helped shape the sound he’s now known for.

We talk about going from pub gigs to touring internationally, writing songs that feel quietly devastating, and the making of his new album Last Night You Said You Missed Me.
