About Me

An ARIA Finalist in 2009 for Best World Music Album and winner of the 2008 MusicOz Awards for Best Jazz or Classical Artist, Fiona also won Best Piano NAR Lifestyle Music Awards 2006 and Best Dance Dub/Club 2008, and has been a finalist in over 43 Indie Artist Awards across 9 countries.

Last album (prior to Christmas Joy) Blue Dream received the highest ever ranking in the history of the New Age Reporter International Radio Charts, debuting at #1 and went on to win the ZMR Album of the Year, Best Piano Album and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album.

Fiona's music crosses genres from Classical to Jazz rhythms, world influences and New Age mysticism, and she has had the good fortune to work with many incredible artists including Will Ackerman, Luka Bloom, T-Bone Wolk (Hall & Oates), Tony Levin, Heather Rankin (Rankin Family), Jeff Haynes (Pat Methany), Eugene Freisen (Paul Winter Consorte), Paul Jarman, Dave Ellis, Rebecca Daniel and world renowned Mongolian Throat singer Bukhu.

Discovered by Will Ackerman in 2008 after winning Album of the Year in the NAR Awards on a keyboard and from a field including George Winston, Fiona had the opportunity to travel to Vermont to record an album at his Imaginary Road Studios.

“Fiona Joy Hawkins” BLUE DREAM began as the most ambitious project of my entire career and resulted in one of the most remarkable collaborations this genre has ever known. Blue Dream is unique and I’m as proud of it (and Fiona) as anything I’ve ever worked on in my 35 year career of Grammy Awards and gold and platinum records.” Will Ackerman (Founder Windham Hill Records) Windham County, Vermont 2008

ABC Music Australia: “Blue Dream represents the very best of this music genre and follows in the great tradition of artists such as George Winston. This beautifully crafted album has already been hailed in the US as a work of pure genius”.

Latest project “Christmas Joy” has been recorded, however needs support for manufacturing. Please support the music by pledging and sharing with your friends and family, thank you!
