ABOUT HAWTHORNE

"Hawthorne knows just how to take listeners into a world filled with stories that resonate long after the last note fades." -mspmag.com

​

Hawthorne Oachs is a storyteller by nature and a musician by trade. She is an old spirit trapped in a teenaged human cage. The odd, tormented blessing that it is to be given consciousness is fascinating to her, and she has vowed to spend her days examining life - compulsively making art with the data she collects about the world. Through music, she is on an endless search to recreate the magic we have lost in this world. 

Music has the power to hold our hands in solidarity through life’s trials and tribulations, and Hawthorne is deeply intrigued by both the darkness and light in her studying of the complexity and dichotomy of human nature. She turns her observations into stories within songs in such a way that manages to make even the ugly parts of life hauntingly beautiful, all without altering or denying reality or sugarcoating what it really means to be alive. 

Emphasizing the art of connection, Hawthorne offers a community that can be a source of compassion for others in a world that needs more places like that. She has extensively explored the details of interpersonal relationships and aims to create a safe place to share humanity's deepest secrets and darkest moments in the name of making something meaningful out of it, or to perhaps to help someone else feel less alone. 

Hawthorne's music is thoughtful, charged with harnessed emotion, and riddled with poetic and metaphorical observations about the human experience that are far beyond her years. She shows through her actions that wisdom does not scale with age, and that it instead follows constant growth, learning, and quiet reflection. Her sound is pop/rock-adjacent, but never quite conforming to any specific genre besides the indescribable one in her own mind’s eye. She makes conscious, intricate music for people who crave something nutritional in their listening.

"Don’t let her age fool you. Hawthorne Oachs will break your heart with the one play of her song. Her newest track is rife with fragile emotion, turning a nice folk-pop song into a tremulous lament. She crafts an earthy, dense and ethereal track that will have you re-aligning how you listen to music. It hits you in waves, rather than as a whole." - mspmag.com
