Joel Hawkins, formerly of Falling North, is one of the newest artists signed to K2 Records Independent Label. He is well versed in playing and writing in bands, and a veteran of the alternative rock music scene. Now signing a K2 Artist Development Contract he has decided to work on a solo project to open his vocals as well as his song writing capabilities.

 

"I want to make music a different way...like playing one single note and letting the music guide me to completion."

 
 

"I have always been in different groups and always conformed to what music is being played. My past bands have all been great, but now I just want to write songs with passion and have fun while doing it. I feel if I experiment in writing with different artists, producers, & musicians I can make something fantastic. It is a lot of work, but with K2 behind me I feel I can accomplish anything I want."

So look for updates in the news section of this page as well as video updates pertaining to the writing and recording process Joel will be involved in. K2 and Joel hope to bring you some new singles so check back soon.

Hey Guys and Gals,

I am sorry I haven't posted in awhile...I have been working on a couple new songs trying out new and old ideas. I can't wait to see how I am going to transform my mind into my music. Alot of emotions have been written into some of these songs dating back to 10 years ago. I am just being patient and working hard on making these songs imbued with the vision i have for them. It's a lengthy process, and I thank all of the K2 records family being patient with me and my process. I could have not signed with a better and understanding label. I can't wait to hear the finished product from the other artists on this label. I hope I can make music that everyone can sync with. Love you guys Laters!!!

This week we were working on tracks, arranging and producing them a bit to get some samples ready for testing. Hopefully we have some tracks ready for some listening for the label. It's nice I'm doing what I want and hopefully my evolution doesn't stop here. A lot of people want to claim that they are original, but in reality you can't because elements of every type of music today come from music of yesterday. I boil it down to if it clicks in my head, and it sounds good and can get you to hum along by the second chorus and full out singing by the third. That's how I like music. That's how I like writing music.

Hard at work as usual trying to find something that fits me. I want to do allot of styles of music....I hate being put in a little box by consumers, but in all honesty I realize why artists have such a hard time evolving. If you change even slightly, half of the consumers would get mad that you changed format or tried new things saying," Man they sold-out and changed format." If you don't change then the other half start saying," It's the same old stuff." It's sickening to us artists because you can never make everyone happy, and I understand that. I wish I could say that I am just doing what I want, but I want to be successful as well. I think all in all I will do what I want and make the music that means the most to me...that compliments my life as well as my voice. That way It's just me if you don't like it then leave it. Keep an open mind. If it clicks then it's good in your mind! That's how I view the world anyways when it comes to music!
