Jordan Hawkins, R&B’s rockstar didn’t just appear overnight. This project and his stunning sound have both come together through years of passion and work, fusing together so many influences, inspirations, and collaborators. Born in Greensboro, North Carolina and raised in the church choir, he is following in the spirit of true performers, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer, artists who took the guitar and brought their magic to life. Hawkins might have come to Southern California for school, but LA quickly became the perfect place to harvest a growing passion for music. He followed that passion, and now at just 24 years old, he has found his community and found his sound. And here, on his debut EP, Heart Won’t Stop, we get to witness Hawkins put it all together in one stunning project. 
 Hawkins has orchestrated something entirely new, entirely him. He’s taking these experiences and influences, breathing new life into them. All of these influences and experiences like puzzle pieces lying alongside each other just right, held together by Hawkins’ stunning voice. He’s got an undeniable tone, always in control yet still human and vulnerable. There’s a texture to his singing, the emotions always pouring through. And it all works because, it’s all so genuine. So, welcome to the Jordan Hawkins experience. This project represents so much work and growth, and yet, it’s still just a taste, still just the beginning of this journey.
