I'm originally from Detroit, MI. Attended St. Jude Catholic, Notre Dame High ('87) and Wayne State U on a baseball Scholarship. Blew my arm out after 2 years, turned my focus back to writing songs, recording music. Moved to Los Angeles in '98 so I could better network in the entertainment industry. Returned to my Country/Roots influences to produce and perform a very original form of Alt-Country Rock with my band, THICKE HAWKINS. I also just started my own music publishing company, PB&J with bandmate J. Burns to create and license original music for T.V., film and advertising.
THIS 1ST VIDEO BELOW WAS CHOSEN TO COMPETE ON CMT's MUSIC CITY MADNESS VIDEO CONTEST LAST NOVEMBER IN NASHVILLE. I GOT KNOCKED OUT BUT RECEIVED AN ARTIST ENDORSEMENT FROM MARTIN GUITARS!
