Biography
--------------
Andrew Hawking (aka Andy Hawk) was born on the 16th July 1981 in the sleepy town of Gelnhausen, Germany.
The 23 year old "Hesse" (comment: "Hessen" is a state of germany) can safely call himself one of the most exciting newcomers to arrive recently into a struggling Music Business. He discovered his love of music as a child and was already having keyboard lessons at 12 years old. Because of this schooling he already had lots of live experience at a very tender age.
At 17, he had his first contact with a DJ record player and started the insatiable habit of building his extensive vinyl collection. When he was 18 he started his apprenticeship as a Computer information specialist and completed this training successfully at 21. In this apprentice period there was a chance meeting with Juergen Frosch (Jay Frog) a Producer and DJ(now with Scooter and Trance-Action).They became great friends and through this friendship Andrew was introduced to many important people in the music scene.
Jay Frog also worked for Discomania, one of the largest Vinyl distributers in Germany and because of this contact, Andrew was able to agree terms quickly with the Management of Discomania and started working as their IT expert.
Working at Discomania, Andrew was also able to create a relationship with Faris Al-Hassoni the co-owner of Drizzly Records, one of the leading European independant dance labels Faris was impressed with his musical talent and included him as part in the Drizzly family, employing him for important duties such as running their booking agency and the Drizzly radio station.
Andrew is also part of the Drizzly posse of label djs and wherever he goes he sets a good vibe with his easy going nature. Behind the decks he generates a great atmosphere whether it is in a small location or at a big festival - a party feeling is garanteed. Soon you will be able to hear his own productions - the first of his efforts will be available early 2005 on Drizzly records. Whatever the future holds we can be excited by what he has to offer and one thing is for sure,
we will be hearing a lot very soon !!
