Stuart Hawkins

Stuart Hawkins is a British jazz trumpeter and composer with a soulful, funky sound.

Born in Australia and raised in Hong Kong, Stuart began playing the trumpet at the age of nine, and his love for jazz and blues grew throughout his teenage years.

Stuart studied Modern History at the University of Oxford and performed regularly with some of the UK’s top young jazz talents. Returning to Hong Kong, he became a frequent performer at The Jazz Club and played in venues across Asia. Now based in Thailand, Stuart has collaborated with leading Thai and international jazz and pop artists.

His new album, 'Hey!', released in 2025, features a collection of original compositions, ranging from upbeat jazz-funk grooves to laid-back neo-soul. The title track, featuring US jazz singer Coco LaShaun alongside Thai jazz artists Sunny Rattana on piano, March Titiwat Tripob on bass, Preedipat Kampan on drums and Chartsayam Marc Kiripart on sax, blends bebop with hip-hop and has already garnered over 150K streams on Spotify.

Stuart's debut album 'And What If I Don't' was originally released in 2017 in partnership with Universal Music Thailand. The album includes Passakorn Morasilpin on saxophone, Kom Wongsawat and Darin Pantoomkomol on piano, March Titiwat Treepob on bass and Pong Nakornchai on drums.
