Hamish Hawk
Scottish musician (born 1991) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamish James Hawk (born October 27, 1991) is a Scottish musician. Hawk began his career in 2012 while he was a student at the University of St Andrews, and released his debut solo record, Aznavour (2014), under the mentorship of Scottish musician King Creosote, who produced the album. A year later he formed a band to back him up during live performances, and played with them under the name Hamish Hawk & the New Outfit. They released their first record From Zero to One in 2018, and an EP Laziest River in 2019. Laziest River was produced by Idlewild's Rod Jones, whom they had met in 2016. In 2021, now performing with the band as Hamish Hawk, he released his first album, Heavy Elevator, followed by Angel Numbers (2023), both produced by Jones and shortlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2022 and 2023, respectively. In 2024 Hawk announced his third record, A Firmer Hand, to be released in August
