Brett Detar was born April 30, 1978, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.[6]
He began his musical career as guitarist in the band Pensive, who released an EP called The Subtlety of Silence[citation needed] and a split with EP with fellow Pennsylvania band Seasons In The Field.[7]
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.[8] 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.[9]
Following the initial dissolution of The Juliana Theory in 2006, Detar moved to Los Angeles and opened a vintage clothes shop. Despite the uncertainty, he continue to write songs from time to time.[10] Afterwards, he 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.[11] His second solo album, Too Free to Live, followed on October 8, 2013.[12] The same year, he toured the U.S. with Lindi Ortega.[13]
A number of Detar's solo songs have been featured on several television series, including Nashville,[14] Supernatural,[citation needed] Elementary,[citation needed] Jersey Shore,[15] Friendzone,[16]Snooki & Jwoww, Teen Mom,[17] and Party Down South.[18] His songs were also included in episodes of the acclaimed Marvel Television Netflix shows Daredevil,[19] Jessica Jones, and The Punisher.[citation needed]
He made his debut as a film composer with Paramount Pictures The Devil Inside, which opened in North America on January 6, 2012.[20] Detar reunited with writer/director William Brent Bell for FilmDistrict's 2014 action thriller WER,[21] the 2020 horror sequel Brahms: The Boy II and the 2021 horror film, Separation.[22]
