Never content to rest comfortably within one genre of music – composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Brett Detar currently splits his time between writing and recording film scores and releasing albums of original songs. He’s known for his musical shape-shifting, evocative sense of melody, and distinctive vocals. Writing and performing his first songs at the age of 6 and beginning piano training shortly thereafter Detar became a full-time professional at 19 joining the seminal hardcore-metal band Zao as guitarist, bassist, & songwriter. Simultaneously he founded indie-alt-emo-rock pioneers The Juliana Theory where he handled lead vocals, keys, programming, guitar, songwriting, and eventually recording duties.

“South-to-south conversations, which enable the direct sharing of ideas and practices across countries and continents, offer a promising pathway for building a richer understanding of the urban processes around the world. This book is an account of one of these fruitful conversations, organized between Bangalore and Medellin and expanded to include other voices and experiences. It is a welcome contribution to the search for alternative theories of urban development.”
