Brandyn Hazelton
Biography
Brandyn Nicholas Hazelton was born on November 27, 1989 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada. At the age of one, his parents moved their family to the small town of Epsom, just north of Toronto. During his early life, Brandyn showed little interest in brass and woodwind instruments, achieving only average marks in music. However at the age of 15, after seeing his cousin play an old acoustic guitar, a keen interest was sparked within him, compelling him to pick up the instrument.

Teaching himself to play, from that point on he showed a great passion for music, as he was constantly inspired by bands such as Led Zeppelin, Heart and Guns N Roses. While in grade 11 fitness class, he had been training with another student named Bryan Howarth. Already a very talented player himself, Bryan eventually went on to teach Brandyn more techniques on the guitar. Brandyn attended two other high schools, entertaining peers in hallways and singing at family functions, before graduating with honours. His creative mind ever on music, Brandyn continued to invest in his passion by writing lyrics and composing songs, as well as buying more equipment for rehearsal. In 2008, he met his soon to become drummer, Dave Brian.

Sharing common interests, they became friends right away. Impressed by his skills on the drums, over the course of the following year Brandyn asked Dave to be involved in an upcoming solo album he had been thinking about. While working at a sales position within his town, Brandyn would drive down to Toronto after work to record the album with Steve Sherman, a producer he had met through Dave. Nearing the end of the album's production, Brandyn made contact again with his old school friend Bryan Howarth, who was very enthused with the material, and gladfully accepted the position of lead guitarist for the project when approached by Brandyn.

Brandyn's natural talent and discipline as a musician, his strong stage presence and amazing ability as a songwriter have grown even more to date, and with the constant and eager urging of good friends, as well as unwavering support from his family, he has released his first studio album:"Last Man Out."
