Mayer Hawthorne has produced and played instruments for much of his life, but never intended to become a singer. What he became, however, is a new school, multi-talented artist and producer. The classic Motown sound that provided the blueprint for Mayer Hawthorne's self-produced independent debut, A Strange Arrangement, was a key influence for his 2011 first major label effort, How Do You Do (Republic Records). The album debuted at #1 on iTunes R&B/Soul and #7 on iTunes Top Albums lists.  The New York Times describes Hawthorne as "an able singer, a gifted mimic and an arranger of astonishing precision" and has received praise from fellow musicians Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, John Mayer, Snoop Dogg, and more.
