Not too long ago, singer-songwriter Paul Hawksworth was faced with the question why he makes music. But, in that moment, the Sheffield-based artist was at a loss for a substantial answer. Now, after some deep introspection, Paul knows his purpose.

“I make music to connect with people; to offer them an outlet to reflect, and give them hope and comfort,” he reveals.

Paul’s music is elegantly essential, pared down to his heartfelt lyrics, refined acoustic guitar accompaniment, and his honeyed rasped vocals. He has garnered favourable comparisons to Passenger, Donovan Woods and Noah Gundersen. Paul has been regularly selling out shows, and attracting a strong fanbase with his warmly engaging songcraft.
