About Azalea
Since establishing in 2007 Azalea has been performing at coffee shops, clubs, restaurants, and festivals in Southern Ontario and upstate New York. Azalea released their album Coffee & Kisses EP in June 2010, which they wrote, produced, arranged, recorded, and performed every instrument save the drums. The album has been featured in many prominent online music magazines and has had a great response from college radio in Kingston and Hamilton, Ontario. The album was also nominated and placed in the top three finalists for Recording of the Year, Rock Recording of the Year, Instrumentalist of the Year, and Producer of the Year at the 2010 Durham Region Music Awards.Both Benjamin Hackett and Mia Cioffi embarked on their own life's journey with the hopes and dreams of inspiring others with their music. They worked hard at their craft but felt they couldn't realize their full potential. Then one fateful day the two dreamers met. They began a romance of music, life, and love. They came to realize that apart their efforts fell short of what they had hoped to express musically, but together their sound blossomed into something beautiful, the sound now known as Azalea.
As performers, they are very versatile and every live show is entertaining, whatever the occasion. Azalea can provide an intimate set for a coffee shop, or charge up a crowd with a full band set up. This makes them easy to place anywhere and everywhere. Whether performing as a duo or with a full band, Azalea always maintains the integrity of their recorded art. They always strive to be cutting edge in their live performances and never settle for second best. Taking the “One Man Band” approach they have earned a reputation for bringing “more than you'd think” to the table, through the use of live looping and frequent instrument changes.
Azalea released their first full length album – The Carousel of Life under the band name Benjamin & Mia. Their debut release as Azalea – Coffee & Kisses EP illustrates who they truly are; it is lyrically romantic, sonically whimsical, and musically artistic. The arrangements are well thought out and unique, with playful aspects that are sure to grab everyone's attention. Although an independent album, Coffee & Kisses EP maintains the commercial appeal sought after in today's music industry.
