Mayer Hawthorne is the thirty-year old currently stirring up a great amount of buzz worldwide. He is currently signed to the top-notch west coast independent label Stones Throw Records (Madlib, J Dilla, Oh No, Percee P, Guilty Simpson, James Pants, Dam-Funk, Dudley Perkins, etc. etc.) His debut album entitled A Strange Arrangement was released on 9.9.09. Hawthorne is currently wrapping up a tour on the west coast with the one and only Ghostface Killah, who just so happens to be an avid fan of Hawthorne's old school throwback Motown vibe. After that he will begin an extensive tour across Europe. Hawthorne's list of influences include the likes of Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, and Smokey Robinson. Quite an intriguing list for a white boy from Michigan. Hawthorne also performs Hip-Hop music under the stage name Haircut and occasionally as part of the groups Now On and Athletic Mic League.
