Hamish Hawk is an Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter whose distinctive voice and vivid storytelling have carved a unique niche in the indie music scene. Hawk's eloquent lyrics and often whimsical titles betray a literary depth and a penchant for crafting narratives that bridge the personal with the universal, often with a touch of wry humor. The Scottish artist's work ranges from the introspective to the surreal, reflecting both his keen observational skills and his imaginative playfulness.

Hawk's rise in the music world is marked by a series of evocative releases that showcase his versatility and talent as a lyricist.
