Transcription

Early life

His childhood was fashioned seeing R.A.K. Mason, Rex Fairburn, Kevin Ireland and other writers in the shop.[1] Graham left Mt Roskill Grammar at age 15 for his first job at Whitcombe & Tombs. He began writing songs when he was 19.[2]

Career

Although Brazier claimed he turned down an offer to join The Doors post-Jim Morrison,[3] it was stated by Doors ex-manager and biographer, Danny Sugerman, to be "somewhat exaggerated".[4]

Two Brazier associated songs are included in the official top 100 New Zealand songs. They are "Blue Lady" alongside his first band, Hello Sailor, as well as "Billy Bold" from his solo career.[5]

It was reported on 7 October 2012 that Brazier was charged with assaulting his two former partners.[6] He pleaded guilty to two counts of male assaults female and one count of common assault.[7]

Brazier suffered a heart attack in August 2015, and died in Auckland on 4 September 2015.[8]

Brazier's posthumous solo album Left Turn at Midnite, completed after Brazier's death by close friend producer Alan Jansson,[9] was released in May 2017.[10]

  • Inside Out (Polygram), 1981
  • Brazier (CBS), 1987 (spent one week in the NZ album chart at No. 49 in February 1988)
