I Never Have, But I Would Love

I Don't Want Kids Listening To My Music Thinking It's For Their Parents. I Want Them To Feel It's Theirs.

I Grew Up In The '80s And '90s Listening To Public Enemy And Mobb Deep And The Smashing Pumpkins. I Don't Even Know What It Was Like In The '60s - I Wasn't Alive Then - So The Mayer Hawthorne Sound Is Taking What I Can Learn From The Classics, And Blending It With My Hip-hop Dj And Producer Background And Punk-rock Bands That I Played In As A Kid.

My Intentions With Any Of My Music Is To Keep It Futuristic And Updated And Be Experimental And Try New Things.

Drums, Bass, Guitar, Keys, I Play A Little Of Each Of Those.

I Didn't Appreciate Mick Jagger Until I Got Older, And Mainly Because Of The Mick Jagger Swagger. He Defined That For The World. He Was Bold And Adventurous With It, Too - Just The Ultimate Rock Star.
