Hozier

Hozier is an Irish singer-songwriter and musician who captivated the world with his soulful voice and deeply literary songwriting. Born Andrew John Hozier-Byrne on March 17, 1990, in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, he grew up in a musical household with his mother being an artist and his father a local blues musician. He studied music at Trinity College Dublin before dropping out to pursue his music career full-time, a decision that would prove to be extraordinarily fruitful.

Hozier exploded onto the global music scene in 2013 with his debut single “Take Me to Church,” a powerful anthem about love and organized religion that became one of the decade’s most iconic songs. The track reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and has accumulated billions of streams across platforms. His self-titled debut album, released in 2014, was certified multi-platinum worldwide and established him as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music. The album featured additional beloved tracks like “Someone New” and “Cherry Wine.”

His second album “Wasteland, Baby!” debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in 2019, proving his enduring appeal. Hozier continued his artistic evolution with “Unreal Unearth” in 2023, a concept album inspired by Dante’s Inferno that received widespread critical acclaim. The album spawned the hit single “Too Sweet,” which became his first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024, a full decade after his initial breakthrough.

As of 2026, Hozier’s net worth is estimated at $10 million, accumulated through album sales, massive streaming numbers, extensive world tours, and songwriting royalties. His ability to consistently sell out arenas and festivals worldwide, combined with a catalog that continues to generate substantial streaming revenue, ensures a steady and growing income. He remains one of the most respected and commercially successful independent-minded artists in the music industry.
