how to pronounce hozier

The correct pronunciation of "Hozier" is "HOH-zee-er," rhyming with words like "cozier" or "nosier." The stress is on the first syllable, and the "z" sound is clear in the middle. The Irish singer-songwriter Hozier himself has explained that it should be pronounced like "Hoze-ier" and not like "Hosier" or with a French-sounding twist. If spoken with slight variation, it is generally understandable and forgiven.
