Hawksley Workman

Hawksley Workman is a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who paves his own path. Brilliantly original and always spontaneous, his creative talent is boundless, often switching from the role of songwriter, to studio musician, to producer. His songwriting style is as varied as his resume, creating pop tunes, country jangles, anthemic rockers, hip-hop dance beats and gut-wrenching ballads, such as “Safe and Sound”, which was recently featured in a US Volvo TV spot that spawned a collection of youtube covers from fans all over the world.

Hawksley has toured with the The Cure and David Bowie, collaborated with Marion Cotillard, written for Cartier and produced tracks for Serena Ryder, Tegan & Sara, and Hey Rosetta!. In 2008, he released not one but two albums and toured them extensively throughout Canada and Europe. The first of the two albums, Between the Beautifuls, garnered Hawksley a 2009 JUNO Award for Adult Alternative Album of the Year, while Los Manlicious, sprouted a half a dozen music videos from director Sean Turrell while touring Europe.

Hawksley is currently at work in studios from NYC to Stockholm to Northern Ontario recording enough material to release three new albums. At least one of the records will be released in 2010.
