Caleb Hawley is a New York City based songwriter and performer. In his decade-long career, he has released five albums and played over 1000 shows. Citing main influences such as Randy Newman and Janet Jackson, his songs often combine catchy melodies with dark and satirical lyrics. Combining catchy melodies with dark and satirical lyrics, one has to be careful not to slip while dancing in a puddle of their own tears. There was a time when Caleb hated being mistaken for his mother when answering the land-line, but it worked out for him in the end, setting him apart with his high, androgynous vocals. He forms authentic connections with an air of openness, soulful singalongs and untethered guitar work drawing comparisons from Prince to Robin Williams. He has 5 full length albums out to date, most which were written & produced in his 5x10 storage-unit-turned-studio, where he works alongside a black market DVD burning entrepreneur named Fred. -- 4:15 How are you able to balance a two and three year old with your music career? 7:30 What would you describe your current fan base? 12:00 Collaborations 17:45 'Preshow Music' release 28:00 Preview 'Someone who makes you happy' 29:00 Running Ads for Music Promotion 38:00 What do you want to be known for? -- Connect with Caleb https://www.calebhawley.com/ -- If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
