Life and career

Brett Detar was born April 30, 1978, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.[7]

He began his musical career as guitarist in the band Pensive, who released an EP called The Subtlety of Silence[8] and a split with EP with fellow Pennsylvania band Seasons In The Field.[9]

In 1997, drummer Jesse Smith recruited Brett to play guitar in the metalcore band Zao. Detar suggested his friend Dan Weyandt come aboard as well.[10] They both appeared on the groundbreaking album Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest and a split CD with Training for Utopia. In 1998, Detar left Zao to pursue what began as a side-project, The Juliana Theory, full-time.[11]

Following the initial dissolution of The Juliana Theory in 2006, Detar began work on a solo album, which emerged on November 10, 2010, via his website. Bird in the Tangle was supported by a month long tour in 2011, opening for Tiger Army frontman Nick 13.[12] His second solo album, Too Free to Live, followed on October 8, 2013.[13] The same year, he toured the U.S. with Lindi Ortega.[14]

A number of Detar's solo songs have been featured on several television series, including Nashville,[15] Supernatural,[16] Elementary,[17] Jersey Shore,[18] Friendzone,[19] Snooki & Jwoww, Teen Mom,[20] and Party Down South.[21] His songs were also included in episodes of the acclaimed Marvel Television Netflix shows Daredevil,[22] Jessica Jones, and The Punisher.[23]

He made his debut as a film composer with Paramount Pictures The Devil Inside, which opened in North America on January 6, 2012.[24] Detar reunited with writer/director William Brent Bell for FilmDistrict's 2014 action thriller WER,[25] the 2020 horror sequel and the 2021 horror film, Separation.[26]
