Hawthorne is a music artist and multitalented star who engages in intensive singing and song writing. Alongside many production aspects, he is engaged in music arrangements and works as an audio engineer. With his production, music and lyrical expertise, he has created some very interesting DJ music. Not only is the music is outstanding, but Hawthorne raps to it quite brilliantly. He plays with groups like Now On and Athletic Mic League along with live hip hop under the name Haircut.

Coming from the streets of Ann Arbor Michigan, this young boy journeyed to the sunny state of California, to give meaning to his musician inspirations. His childhood memories remind him of the earliest sounds that he remembers. They were radio broadcasts of rich soul songs and jazzy instrumentals that he used to hear in his dad's car. This way, he developed a deep understanding of the genre at a very early age.

In his adolescent years, Mayer Hawthorne listened extensively to the trio Holland?Dozier?Holland. This band along with the contemporary sounds of J-Dilla, have mainly mentored his music. Additionally many soul artists including Leroy Hutson, Barry White, Curtis Mayfield, Mike Terry, Isaac Hayes and Smokey Robinson have imprinted deep marks on his live side. All these impressions remain an important part of his singing and song-writing. They have pushed him further to experiment and fuse sounds from other genres.

Mayer Hawthorne became the neo soul sensation when he revived Motown music. With his new inspired 'rebirth of soul', soul music did not just became throwback music. Instead it became more progressive than before and attracted soul, hip hop and R&B fans the world over. Soul music that was created between the mid sixties and seventies is the retro side of the genre. Hawthorne's revival of soul or neo-soul was a groundbreaking contribution. As a pioneer of the offshoot of neo-soul he came and mended soul as per trends, and made it modern.

Hawthrorne always had an unconventional way to approach to make and present music. Hence it was difficult for him to take form of a band or perform in one. Instead he began his career by arranging, recording and singing music as County Commissioners that later became Mayer Hawthorne and The County. This name was an umbrella that collected Hawthorne's music and songs with other artists. This collaborative effort allowed the artist to polish his vocals and singing.

His production skills proved pivotal in bringing his music to mainstream music. He landed up with Stones Throw Records, his first recording label. Hawthorne was pushed for his first commercial delivery by Wolf, and from here, there was no turning back.

Hawthorne became a mainstream artist with the release of his first single, Just Ain't Gonna Work Out, released in 2008. Maybe So, Maybe No the second single came out in 2009. These two released paved way for the release of A Strange Arrangement (2009), his debut album. The album and the featured singles became hits taking Hawthorne's music everywhere. Just Ain't Gonna Work Out became Starbucks iTunes Pick of the Week. When I Said Goodbye was featured in a film titled We Were Once A Fairytale. The song Your Easy Lovin' Ain't Pleasin' Nothin became a part of the finale episode of Ugly Betty. Two more tracks from Hawthorne namely The Tracks of My Tears and Fall in Love have become the identity of his new school soul.

A look at Mayer Hawthorne hit singles from 2011-12 reveals nothing but beautiful music. A Long Time, The Walk, Thin Moon and Dreaming as well as The Walk featuring Rizzle Kicks and Get Ready became hot favorites of radio casts and web streaming. After the release and success of the first album, Hawthorne released the LP titled The County Direct to Disc 2LP in 2011. A few months later he released his second one under his new label Universal Republic, titled How Do You Do (2011). Critics review it as great work in the dimension of new soul; that delivers the essence and spirit of Motown soul just the right way.
