Personally, I couldn't imagine a more productive and enjoyable working relationship, other than possibly the ones I have with the other Scratchdogs. That is to say, I think we all felt that you were one of us when we recorded with you, that you were our George Martin, our fifth Beatle. Your skill with all the technology and equipment (with which I am not intimately familiar); your steady, patient dedication to getting it right; your focus and attentiveness; and your ability to stay loose and silly with us throughout the whole process... well, all these factored into the space in which we met as artists with creative sensibility and imagination, and enabled us to work as a natural pack.

Hawkins was absolutely incredible to have as an engineer on my project! He is an expert at creatively capturing tones and his presence brings a particular element of magic to the session. I'd ask him to be a part of anything I do in the future.

Hawkins is a warm and generous musician and human being. He puts every ounce of love and creativity into the projects he works on and is more than willing to go above and beyond to make something sound truly amazing. I trust and respect his musical ear and always know that he is fully invested in the projects he takes on. He’s incredible at what he does and is a joy to work with. Plus he’s funny as shit:)

Working with Hawkins Wright is one of the greatest musical pleasures in the world. He's an avid harmonist, a brilliant arranger, and an articulate, patient, and communicative engineer. When you walk into Hawkins' studio, music comes to life in an indescribable way: the act of mere "recording" is replaced by the unique art of creation. Days at Three Sheets always end with beautiful sounding tracks and big smiles.

Hawkins Wright is a very talented, very hardworking and highly musical sort of guy. He has what it takes to persevere the most challenging artistic endeavors in the studio. He’s into the art first and foremost and that’s the kind of guy you want behind the console. I’ve had the pleasure of mastering several of his projects and at the end he’s still in it, completely tuned into the project and going for perfection. He’s a stand up guy with great ears and a bright future. Actually, maybe it’s the people that choose to work with him that have a bright future. He’s already there.

I especially liked Hawkins' easygoingness, and his ability to hear the important things through the muck of noise, distractions, and my jokes bouncing off of 5 band members-then casually get any task done and ready for me.
