Me

I‘ve always been a computer geek, but I started music lessons at the relatively late age of 13. I grew up on a steady diet of Depeche Mode and classical piano. My music combines those two great loves.

What I do:

• Write and record the best electronic pop that I can, with an audiophile bent and plenty of headphone candy.

What I don’t do:

• Perform. I’m strictly a recording artist. I don’t even go to other bands’ shows, because what I enjoy most about listening to music is the production (preserving my hearing is a bonus).
• Videos. I don’t have the talent or budget to create something extraordinary, and I’m not willing to settle for anything less. Fortunately, there are fan videos.

I’m occasionally asked if Brian Hazard is my real name (it is), because it sounds like a stage name. It would’ve made perfect sense to record under my given name, but a friend of mine had a class at design school called Color Theory 101. I thought it sounded cool, probably because I made a subconscious connection to Depeche Mode’s 101.

You can listen to my entire discography at music.colortheory.com. I’m also on iTunes and the rest. For more info, visit ctmusic.de or ask me a question.

My music is powerless without you listening, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
