about

Dès qu’elle chante, Kaz Hawkins nous entraîne dans son univers haut en couleurs. Ses mots simples décrivent parfaitement les émotions qu’elle exprime par le biais d’une expression artistique en phase avec son esprit libre et attachant.
Kaz Hawkins n’a jamais caché son passé douloureux, mais son histoire personnelle est devenue une force à travers des textes émouvants et une interprétation d’une sincérité et d’une intensité rares ! Commençant par des reprises du répertoire durant 20 ans, Kaz s’est découvert un talent de compositeur à travers les poèmes qu’elle écrivait en cachette. Ces poèmes devenant ses propres paroles quand elle commença à composer des mélodies qui lui trottaient dans la tête.
Connue principalement pour des ballades comme « Because You Loved Me » et « Lipstick and Cocaine » (rebaptisé plus tard « One More Fight »), ces chansons trouvèrent très rapidement un public dès leurs parutions. Un public éclectique : jeune, vieux, masculin, féminin, de langue anglaise ou pas…Tout le monde est touché par ses morceaux qui sont la marque de fabrique de cette artiste nord-irlandaise unique. Mais le monde de Kaz est aussi fait d’importantes références blues et soul, de riffs de guitares et de performances scéniques légendaires. Elle a ainsi imposé son nom et sa voix sur la scène irlandaise, puis en Europe après avoir gagné l’European Blue Challenge en 2017.
Contactée par le label français Dixiefrog, Kaz a sorti « My Life and I » en 2022. Une anthologie de 17 titres qui l’ont présenté au public français qui l’avait adopté dès 2018 à travers une série de concerts et de présence sur des festivals.
En janvier 2023, Kaz Hawkins a eu 50 ans, une âge qu’elle ne pensait jamais atteindre et c’est pourquoi elle a voulu faire de toute cette année une célébration particulière de cet événement et de cette vie exceptionnelle. Et que pourrait être plus exceptionnelle que la sortie d’un nouvel album avec de nouvelles compositions. C’est ainsi qu’est apparu « Until We Meet Again », un album à l’image de sa créatrice, plein de couleurs vives et de vibrations positives, crée à l’intention de tous ceux qui luttent afin de les aider à trouver la force de se battre et de survivre.
Un projet unique fait de touchantes ballades, de titres gospel, de solos de guitares rock et même d’un clin d’œil à son pays d’origine grâce au rajout des sonorités irlandaises dans le mix final.
Les yeux rivés sur ce nouveau chapitre, Kaz Hawkins nous propose là un immense éclat de son rire si communicatif. « Until We meet Again » est le manifeste de Kaz Hawkins pour affirmer que l’on peut être tout ce que l’on a envie d’être.

When she sings, Kaz Hawkins takes us into her vast and colourful universe, simple words express the strong emotions she writes about in an artistic universe that matches her endearing and free personality.

Kaz Hawkins has never made a secret of her painful past, but her story has become her strength in writing soulful lyrics and singing with a rare sincerity and intensity.
Performing other people's music for 20 years, Kaz discovered her talent as a songwriter in poems she had written in secret. These poems then became lyrics when she began to put the melodies she had in mind within her own words.
Known mostly for her ballads like "Because You Love Me" and "Lipstick and Cocaine" (later renamed "One More Fight") these songs were born and immediately found their audience. An eclectic audience: young, old, male, female, English-speaking and non-English-speaking... Everyone is affected by these songs, which are the trademark of this unique Northern Irish artist. Kaz's world is also made of great blues and soul references, guitar riffs and iconic performances on stage. She thus imposed her name and voice on the Irish scene, then on the European scene by winning the European Blues Challenge in 2017.
Approached by the French record label Dixiefrog, Kaz Hawkins presented "My Life and I" in 2022. An anthology of 17 tracks that introduced Kaz to the French public, who adopted her since 2018 through a series of concerts and festivals.

In January 2023, Kaz Hawkins turned 50, an age she never thought she would reach so she wanted to make this year a great celebration, an exceptional event in an exceptional life. What could be more exceptional than the release of a new album with new compositions. This is how "Until We Meet Again" came about, an album in the image of its creator, full of bright colours and positive vibes, created for anyone struggling to help them find the strength to fight and survive.
An unclassifiable work with moving ballads, gospel songs, rock guitar solos and even a nod to Kaz's homeland as she added some Irish sounds to the mix.
