Too Opinionated Interview: Juliet Hawkins

Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with stunning LA based genre crossing, blues, country, swing and pop artist Juliet Hawkins!

Weaving her own heartfelt experiences of pain, pleasure and radical self-acceptance into originally penned songs, Juliet Hawkins is a distinctive storyteller quickly making her mark in Los Angeles, California. Having cut her teeth as a solo performer in Nashville, Juliet has developed a signature sound that crosses genres and incorporates blues, country, swing, and pop. More at home with the culture of the sunshine state, Juliet’s music is both provocative and poetic while challenging her audiences to think freely. With an impassioned promise to never fit the mold, Juliet’s recordings are equally at home beside your favorite Marvin Gaye and Amy Winehouse records. A natural performer, Juliet’s live shows are not to be missed and guarantee a great time for all. With a focus on original music, she’s also been known to reimagine classics like Ozzy Osbournes’ Crazy Train, recorded on her new live album with keys and cello, as well as The Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody, on her last EP, allowing her own tone and approach to transform the way always heard them.

Juliet recently released “My Father’s Men”- telling the story of every artist struggle to remain true to their art, their work, their message. The challenges artists face especially as female writers and artists to be seen as equals or even to have our own voice heard in an industry riddled with misogyny, entitlement, and sexism; The artist verses the machine, the awareness of self, the power we hold as women, and the necessary breaking point to find that power and honor it fearlessly.  

The music video for “My Father’s Men”  released on Feb 2nd.
