About me
My name is Gareth Haze and I'm a singer/songwriter based in London, UK performing original material in the folk, rock, pop and blues styles; as well as acoustic versions of classic tracks, modern hits, and obscure b-sides.
​
I was born in Cape Town, South Africa where I performed for several years as a drummer and backing vocalist for Mark Haze (who happens to be my brother) as well as 12th Avenue. During that time I had the privilege of sharing the stage with Seether, Dead Letter Circus, and Bon Jovi, and was able to tour extensively and record several albums with successful radio singles.
​
At the beginning of 2022 after taking some time out of the music business, I decided to take the plunge and step out from behind the drums to centre stage, performing as a singer/songwriter.
​
I have written several original songs, which I plan to soon record and release, and have been playing all over London. I'm looking forward to continuing this momentum and playing plenty more shows.

"And talking of great tunes, - Gareth Haze with his own ‘You Don’t Know My Name’ is another superb original. And amongst all the cover versions we need stuff like this."
"He always impresses me and I really love it when he plays his own songs, some of which are actually stuck in my head, in a good way, for a lot of the time. Talented guy for sure."

"It’s a song that touches the soul and leaves a lasting impact." "Overall, “Home” is a beautifully crafted acoustic folk/pop ballad that highlights the undeniable talent of Mark Haze and Gareth Haze."
