Sophie B. Hawkins

Sophie B. Hawkins, born on November first, nineteen sixty-four, in New York City, is a talented American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and composer. Her musical journey began at the Manhattan School of Music, where she studied percussion for a year before deciding to fully immerse herself in her passion for music.

In the 1990s, Hawkins rose to prominence with her debut albums, which garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success. She captivated audiences with hit singles such as 'Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover', 'Right Beside You', and 'As I Lay Me Down', establishing herself as a formidable force in the music industry.

However, her career faced challenges when a dispute with Sony Music regarding her third album, 'Timbre', prompted her to take control of her artistic direction. This led to the founding of her independent label, Trumpet Swan Productions, through which she has released her subsequent works.

Beyond her music, Hawkins is a passionate advocate for animal rights and environmental issues. She actively supports social and political causes, particularly those that promote women in music and LGBTQ rights, reflecting her commitment to making a positive impact in the world.
