Biography

Welcome to the bio of Richard Ellis Hawley, a multi-genre musician who blends elements of multiple genres (including an extra vocalist) to create a unique and captivating sound. Their eclectic mix of styles keeps me on my toes, never quite knowing what to expect next. One moment you are grooving to a funky bassline straight out of the 70s, the next you're lost in a dreamy, ethereal electronic soundscape. Hawley seamlessly transitions between genres, weaving together influences from rock, hip-hop, jazz, classical, and everything in between. What sets Hawley apart is their masterful musicianship ... and ability to effortlessly switch between genres without missing a beat. Each track is a journey, taking the listener on a sonic adventure that keeps you coming back for more. Whether your in the mood for a high-energy dance track or a laid-back ballad, Hawley has something for every mood and occasion. Their music is a true testament to the power of genre-blending and showcases their versatility as a musician. Overall, he has been highly recommended - check out Hawley's music if you're looking for something fresh, and downright impressive. Their ability to fuse together multiple genres seamlessly is a testament to their talent.
Richard has a keyboard of his own or can play an instrument in situ.
Thank you so much for reading
A very well rounded musician who has performed for various audiences across the United Kingdom and abroad. It all started about 40 years ago when he decided to teach himself to play piano. He then went on to teach himself to play the electronic organ, theatre organ, and pipe organ, along with some brass instruments. While at home in the UK, He has volunteered as a musician / entertainer for a variety of events including kid parties, weddings, and corporate events, among others. He has the ability to adapt to any environment, and collaborates with the organizers of an event to make sure my music fits in well with your special occasion. Always by his side is his partner Rowen who acts as MC and ensures everything runs smoothly.
So whether it’s for a more formal event such as a funeral or a big office party of even a laid back chill lounge, we will both help make your event extra special.
While he is proud to call the UK his home, he has always been passionate about playing many styles of music and cultures. This is due to the fact that he has been able to experience a variety of them while he travelled across Europe, North America and even Oceania, where he lived for many years. More specifically, in New Zealand, before returning home to the United Kingdom a few years ago.
Having been a Yamaha fan for many years, it should come as no surprise that he owns 2 brilliant instruments that he carries around the country to entertain crowds. He also owns a Yamaha PSR-775 arranger workstation and an older Yamaha AR100 Electone that he mostly uses to record music at home. Over the last couple of years, He has intensified his online presence on YouTube and Facebook where he frequently showcases playing in music videos and weekly livestreams. Read More
