It started with a spurned lover jumping on a plane from Paris and landing in Los Angeles. There was no goal other than to hang out with a friend, bang out some songs and guarantee that a good time was had by all. Somehow Hawksley Workman took these experiences, as well as other fragments - pop elements inspired by the songs of long lost bands found on old movie soundtracks, beats derived from the latest urban sounds, and the overwhelming vibe from the city of angels - and mixed them up.
when a guy is cooking up hip hop beats, it puts you in a different place to relax away from those habits and move into new melodic territory
Team Digital Q&A He's a lover, a fighter and so smokin' hot that we're jealous of his cigarette. Not only are people loving him in his home country, people over in France just can't seem to get enough of him! We hooked up with Hawksley!
