“I have worked with Hazel for the past 10 years.. she is incredibly talented and creative. Hazel always brings her own individual style to a project – her songwriting, vocals and ability to write music is a rare find ! Hazel is also incredibly reliable and helpful – making each project both easy and enjoyable!”
Clare McGrath – Exec. Producer – Finger Music
“We have used Hazel for a number of TV projects in our studio and remotely. Her role has ranged from session singing to vocal arranging and co-writing. Whatever the task she has always been amazing – dedicated and professional and bringing great ideas to the tracks. Her unique voice and writing abilities mean she always adds some magic to whatever we’re writing.”
Michael Blainey – Sniffy Dog Music
“I have worked with Hazel for a few years and we’ve done a lot of TV and Radio commercials together yet she still always brings something new to each project we work on. Her ability to bring genuine sincerity and meaning to whatever product she’s singing about is amazing and invaluable. Apart from her consistently great and imaginative vocals, her professionalism, humility and reliability make her my absolute go to vocalist.”
Anthony Adams – Composer
Hazel is a unique and genuine talent who I’ve been lucky enough to work alongside in a studio and live environment. In the studio Hazel is quick, efficient and reliable as well as fun and creative. Vocally, Hazel is super versatile and has an incredible range, she can belt it out but also knows exactly where to hold back and use her smoky tone. On stage Hazel is a captivating performer who draws you in and keeps your attention, providing delicious vocals whilst holding down multiple keyboard parts.
“I have worked with Hazel both to record original music and to perform live. In both settings, she has been thoroughly professional and a joy to work with – a relatively rare combination in vocalists of her quality. Hazel provided all of the lead and background vocals for my EP, Drowning at Station 61. Her pitch and timing are excellent, and she is able to provide clean, studio-quality tracks from her home studio, so that minimal editing is required to fit them into a mix. She is consistently responsive and supportive during the recording process, and is receptive to direction, usually delivering a spot-on performance the first time. When revisions are needed, she has a great attitude and returns the changes promptly. Moreover, Hazel is a gifted songwriter and arranger in her own right, so she can (when appropriate) make valuable contributions to a project beyond singing – on my EP, for example, she provided scintillating background vocal arrangements that significantly improved the recordings. Most importantly, Hazel consistently delivered standout performances. Whether a track required an infectious playfulness or profound despair, Hazel delivered performances of such quality that she constantly challenged me, as a musician and producer, to be better.”
