Thank you for visiting my page! I'm Andrew Hawkes, and I've been composing music since high school when my friends and I formed an alternative rock band called The Golden Brown Couches.  Now I live in Mesa, Arizona, am married, have three kids, and I'm a real estate broker. I prefer composing over performing, but I can play the cello, guitar, and I dabble in some others.  My short term goals include:

1) Producing a concept album for my newest musical "Christmas Star" 

2) Scoring a short film

3) A local production of either of my musicals.

A few of the countless artists who've inspired me and influenced my style include musical writers Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lin Manuel Miranda, and Sara Bareilles; pop/rock musicians Weezer, Zac Brown, Kasey Musgraves, and (Mesa's own) Jimmy Eat World; and classical composers John Williams, Hanz Zimmer, and Vaughan Williams.

I'd love to hear from you if you have any feedback, questions, or want to collaborate.
