In 2013 he released his debut EP, featuring the hit single "Take Me to Church", and his second EP "From Eden" in 2014. His debut studio album, "Hozier", was released in Ireland in September 2014 and globally in October 2014.

Hozier was born in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. His mother is the visual artist Raine Hozier-Byrne (who also designed his latest album cover). He began a degree in music at Trinity College, Dublin, but dropped out midway through his first year in order to record demos for Universal Music. While at Trinity, he became involved with the Trinity Orchestra. He was a member of Anúna from 2008 to 2012, and appears as a soloist on their 2012 release "Illumination" singing "La Chanson de Mardi Gras". He toured and sang with the group internationally including performances in Norway and the Netherlands.

In 2013, Hozier released the EP "Take Me to Church EP" (also containing "Like Real People Do", "Angel of Small Death and The Codeine Scene" and a live version of "Cherry Wine"), with the title track becoming his breakthrough single after it went viral on YouTube. It reached number one on the Irish iTunes singles chart and number two in the official chart on 25 October 2013.

Hozier followed up Take Me to Church with the new EP "From Eden EP" (also containing "Work Song", "Arsonist's Lullabye" and a live version of "To Be Alone"), and a number of festival tour dates and television appearances in the United States. Hozier released his self-titled album, "Hozier" on 19 September 2014. It had five singles including "Take Me to Church", "Work Song", and "From Eden", which were hits on his earlier EPs. On December 2014, it was announced that "Take Me to Church" was nominated at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards for Song of the Year in 2015.

In March 2019 he released Wasteland, Baby!. Sam Sodomsky's review in Pitchfork notes that "He’s got a gorgeous voice. Booming and effervescent, it’s an instrument that communicates passion, adventure, and wisdom," but also noted that the length of the album (14 tracks) became "humdrum."

@Esther Ninsiima --
and I quote: "i'm fine with an artist playing a nasty character - this video doesn't make me conclude hozier is vile."

Hozier chose or agreed to create this video. I wrote a play where i was on the verge of killing my mom. It got picked up and played at various conferences on caregiving including at the Royal Alberta Museum. (My character was also very playful, much/most of the time, while being sole caregiver for someone with dementia for years and years, but the challenges almost made my character kill.)

I love nine inch nails' the downward spiral. My beloved and I love the TV series "You" about a psychopath. My distaste for this Hozier video is not because I'm lily-livered, but because to me the video fails as art. Great cinematography and costumes and all that, but the narrative of abuse abuse abuse did not seem sophisticated to me.

Is it in any way insightful?
Is it provocative in any good way?
(I'm asking sincerely, not rhetorically? I'm open to changing my mind.)

We could say that a few-minute video does not give enough time to provide a change of perspective or something of meaning - but is that true?

Compare Joyner Lucas' "I'm Not Racist". Similar to dinner & diatribes, seated at a table, with actual diatribes - smart diatribes; insightful.

Compare Skrillex' "First of the Year". At one level it's even more disturbing than Hozier vs Anya: creepy pedophile vs little girl. But the girl is never sexualized and before long she kicks ass. In this Hozier video Anya's character is repeatedly exploited and controlled. If her character was enjoying being sexualized, well there's nothing wrong with women enjoying exploring variations in sexuality, but until she flips the script we see almost-only exploitation. She's not living out some forbidden fantasy. Her flip of the script is nothing great either (yay more violence).

(Anya is obviously a powerful actor now (won Golden Globe). Was she when this video was recorded? (Before filming the Queen's Gambit.) Perhaps. (Anya, if you read this(!), I'd love to know what you thought about this video and why you did it.))

Compare Elliott Moss' Without the Lights. Brilliant dancing. Trigger warning. Awesome.

I know I'm going way over the top in my reply. I guess I'm inspired - I love these other works.

Lady Gaga's Bad Romance (not one of my favorites) has similarities: it's a bad "romance"; she burns her captor alive. We don't see her forcibly restrained in the same way we do here.

Awesome non-music videos that play with perspective:
-- "I love two people" (2 min)
youtu.be/wBbApbVjoto
-- "Tuck Me In" (1 minute)
youtu.be/Bd6iqpufdMY
-- Neighbours (1952, NFB, 8 minutes) youtu.be/e_aSowDUUaY

If anyone reads this and thinks of other videos worth mentioning, please do.

Based only on Take Me to Church, I loved Hozier. Less so now. I'd be grateful if anyone expands my perception.

OKAY, SO HERE'S THE LYRICS

Honey, this club here is stuck up
Dinner and diatribes
I knew it from the first look of
The look of mischief in your eyes
Your friends are a fate that befell me
Head is the talking type
I'd suffer Hell if you'd tell me
What you'd do to me tonight

Tell me
Tell me
Tell me, ah

That's the kind of love
I've been dreaming of
That's the kind of love
I've been dreaming of

Honey, I laugh when it sinks in
A pillar I am of pride
Scarcely can speak for my thinking
What you'd do to me tonight
Now that the evening is slowing
Now that the end is in sight
Honey, it's easier knowing
What you'd do to me tonight

Tell me
Tell me
Tell your man

That's the kind of love
I've been dreaming of
That's the kind of love
I've been dreaming of

That's the kind of love
That's the kind of love
That's the kind of love
That's the kind of love

Ohh
Let there be hotels complaints and grievances raised
In that kind of love
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)

Ohh
Let there be damage ensued and tabloid news
In that kind of love
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)

That's the kind of love
I've been dreaming of, ah
Oh

And that's the kind of love
I've been dreaming of
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)

And that's the kind of love
I've been dreaming of
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)
(That's the kind of love)

Here's my take/one of the possible interpretations:

I think the video is about abuse. And about the cycle of abuse.

Lighting someone on fire is, in my opinion, supposed to represent getting out of an abusive relationship, but becoming abusive/evil yourself in the process. It's a cycle of abuse - people hurt you, you destroy them, you hurt other people, etc. (If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes in you).

In the beginning, we see him eating a marshmallow he presumably roasted on someone else. His teeth are already black, which means that that isn't the first marshmallow he ate. I think that it's implied here that he was abused by some people in the past and he "freed" himself of them by destroying them - which resulted in him becoming an abuser/evil person. But after that, he doesn't move during the whole video - he's stuck in the cycle of abuse. And he's smiling all the time, as if he didn't notice the fire, as if the fire was a normal occurrence (as if abusive behavior was normal, or something that makes him smile).

And there there's Anya, who's drawn in by him. She wants to escape, but she can't. She's trying to set him on fire. He doesn't let her leave. She's inexplicably drawn to him. I think that's supposed to represent a toxic relationship. The other guests do nothing. The servants (also people abused in some way?) either help the abuser (Hozier's character) or try to help Anya's character.
In the end, she's helped by another woman (she's given the matches) and she succeeds in lighting him on fire. She destroys him, and cements her "place" in the cycle of abuse. She's become the toxic person now, stuck in a cycle she cannot break out of. Another person, presumably someone abused or treated wrongly, tries to light her on fire. We don't see Anya's character treating the servant wrongly, but he sees her set him on fire - hurt someone - which gives him a motive to destroy the abuser that Anya's character became.

But hey, that's just my take.

@Pedro Parker are you saying quality = quantity or that it does not? Although yes there are standards in Art, for example you need to be a certain caliber to get into a prestigious Art or Theatre program, or have your Art displayed in a gallery or be cast in a movie, it is still more subjective than objective. Also why one school or director may accept you and anothr reject you. In Science and Math, 2 +2 = 4 always, unless you get into quantum physics which is outside the scope of what I am mentioning here. But in Art, although technically for example Da Vincis Vitruvian Man is of perfect dimension and pleasing to most people eye, there are plenty of people who just dont like it. Art is not uniform. In science, a water molecule is made up of oxygen and hydrogen. It is an objective quantitative fact. Whether I like it or not has no bearing on its fact. If I like an actress or not again is subjective, there is no Fact that says a certain actress is Great. Just because a majority thinks it does not mean it to be a Fact. You can't assume that I interpreted the original comment to mean than I automatically applied to her age group. I looked at my overall spectrum of actresses that I like who all have different ages. I do think it was a blanket comment is how I interpreted it as. That is why there is so much clarity and context in legal documents or fine print, to make things as clear as possible. Do I value the opinion of Robert Ebert of his movie reviews? Yes, he had a stronger knowledge base overall than I do. But does that mean I have to agree with everything he said? No. Some movies he ranked highly and others I did not like based on my own preferences.

This gives me Hades and Phersephone vibes but in a more abusive way. Persephone tries to flee from the underworld but Hades wouldn't let her because he is obsessed with her beauty. Eventually she gains her freedom by setting Hades on fire and "killing" him with the help of Hecate (the girl who gives her the matches), but as she is close to her way out, Thanatos (the servant) , finds what happened to Hades, catches her, and also sets her on fire as an act of ravange(i like to think Thanatos waas in love with Hades in this scenario) never letting her see the upperworld ever again.

I just feel like no one is talking about how good Hozier's acting is on this. Yes Anya-Taylor Joy is incredible. And I guess people are acknowledging his acting by saying that Evil Hozier is giving them nightmares. But he is so subtle and startlingly intense in this. For someone who does not have acting as a profession he is really good.

So he initially wants to make her his umpteenth conquest. She tries to escape in all ways but is inexplicably attracted to him. She starts playing his same game, and he ends up burned (so metaphorically in love with her for real). She thinks she has screwed him but in the end she realizes that she has also fallen in love and, automatically, screwed herself in turn. So it's my love life in a video.

@Jonathon Neville I find it strange that you compare this with the Skrillex video and find this to be the more disturbing one. First of the Year as a piece of art can't really help anyone, as a little girl watching it will not learn how to protect herself from a man three times her size, and in an ideal world she just shouldn't have to. Whereas with this video, if someone watching it can metaphorically find themselves in it, it gives them a whole new perspective of what their relationship is based on. The violence in this video is also metaphorical, if you view this as an abusive relationship, the man does not have to be violent in order to keep the woman captive, especially when the woman is shown to have an inexplicable attraction towards him.
Also if you haven't read it in the comments already, this is based on Greek mythology about Hades and Persephone.

@Lunatic Cat my take is related to what Hozier said. I think what the video is demonstrating is that- if you flout the norms and regulations that society has built, you are going to get to eat the marshmallow (the reward or the satisfaction that comes from rebelling), but only for a moment. Eventually, you are going to burn too. Maybe because, even though you were successful in your rebellion this time (denoted by burning of Hozier), the pressure that society will put on you to work in a certain framework will ultimately win and so if you keep rebelling, you'll burn too. The society will make sure of that.
Hope that makes sense.

@ManderleyDreams Oh I didn't mean to insinuate that people become evil after escaping abuse, I apologize if it came off that way. I just saw a parallel between the first scene and the scene where she's the one eating the marshmallow.

Addit: Hozier looks a dead ringer for my psycho narcissistic ex husband here...this video neatly sums up our relationship from start to finish. I put an end to it, but yeah, I got burnt too, too afraid to ever ever be with another man. The single, celibate life for me forevermore. When this is the kind of love you’ve been dreaming of, you end up drinking Cherry Wine. And Mark Viola, if you ever come across this comment section, I hate your guts..Happy 14th Unniversary.

I love how he invites trouble with lyrics like "let there be hotel complains and grievances raised in this kind of love. let there be damage ensed and tabloid news in this kind of love" bc most most songs describe love like a calming force and while I agree, I think trouble is inevitable. and I like the idea of being with someone who will face these troubles, not bc he have to but bc he WANTS to. bc he will delight in facing it bc it means we're together.

HEY YOU! Yes, you, sitting behind your screen reading this. I don't know you and you certainly don't know me. But I want to tell you something. Everyone has their own story. Yours might be filled with joy and happiness, or it might be clouded with pain and misfortune. I want you to know that you're a beautiful, wonderful, talented person. Even if your life isn't going the way you want it to right now, I know that you'll be able to make it out alright. I want you to do me a favor. I know I'm just a stranger, but just trust me, okay? Every time you see your reflection, be it in the mirror in the bathroom, in a window somewhere, or in a puddle on the street, I want you to look at yourself and give yourself a hug. Because even if you aren't the prettiest or the smartest or the funniest, you're something that no one else can be: you. And you are the greatest thing you can be. Smile at strangers. Be confident in yourself. Cry when you feel like crying, laugh when you feel like laughing. Treat yourself like a god/goddess because you deserve it. Hold your head up and keep your heart open. You're worth everything and then some. And always remember that no matter what, even if it doesn't seem like it, you're everything to someone))

she runs to the door just before setting him on fire. Maybe its because she wants to escape after setting him on fire. She doesn’t want to burn with him but she can’t get out of the house (their relationship) so she burns inside with him.
