VI.BE

Hazel is an autodidactic experimental alternative-indie-dark-pop music producer, songwriter, sound designer and engineer based in Belgium. Her constant longing for a sense of home and consistency throughout her youth in third cultures developed in her a subconscious attachment and passion for creating music, as it continued to be an unwavering invariable within cycles of change.

Her sound aspires to be an exploration of warm, eccentric and ethereal sounds, carried through by soft synthetic melodies, layered in airy spaces and with evocative harmonies, and brought back down to earth with experimental contemporary drum progressions. Hazel's artistry is inspired by a great range of boundary-pushing artists across several genres, and she is also influenced by the resonating sounds of some of her all-time favourite alternative bands, as well as that of the places she calls home.

Her lyricism is playfully derived from an intense nostalgia of, and longing for unending and unbounded wonder, experiences and perceptions of life and her interpretation of the vast peripheries and possibilities of the multiple layers of the universe, both internally and beyond. She finds sheer glory and success through the creation of meaning, which she believes she does most articulately through her music.
