QUOTE: “I have done so many things in my life that has made me become the man I am today. Some good and some bad but none of them do I regret.” Third Hawkins began his journey in the music business in an R&B group called JONDOE of which they were signed to a major record label but never produced a full album. It was then when he focused his talent for writing songs and developing them into musical love stories that he began his curiosity for the literary arts. Although writing is what he loved to do music was always his passion. Producing tracks for local and other music artist. Performing at the legendary Apollo theater and other venues are what inspired him to become a better artist. Between work and relationships the music in his life dwindled and the love he once had left after years of R&B changed in the musical domain. He began to write short stories just for fun and one day while on the subway train. Using nothing but his data phone began texting his first book, “My Only Syn". After writing the book and seeing how new found friends that were writers were screwed over by several publishing companies Third started his own publishing company, 3rdHawkins Publishing and began to write the self acclaimed drama "Wake Me When It's Over" based on the life of a strong man trying to survive living with depression. “I look at urban novels as the future of literary art because of the fact that it's as real as you can get in telling a story. Hip Hop was once looked at as a genre in music that would never last and now the stories that they tell have influenced all genres of music from rock to country. Every one has some sort of story to tell and some stories may help even if it’s just one person who will read my book and can relate: I am satisfied and feel I have done my job as an author." ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Third Hawkins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
