Life
Hawkshaw was born in London, England in 1969 as the daughter of British disco producer Alan Hawkshaw. Your father and your love of dance music inspired Hawkshaw to start a music career.
She was discovered at a rave event in 1991 by producers Ian Munro, Kevin Dobbs and Nigel Walton, who were known as A. S. K. During a meeting, the group Opus III was founded. Her first single, It's a Fine Day, from her debut album Mind Fruit was an international success, reaching fifth place on the UK Singles Chart and first place on the Billboard Hot Dance Music / Club Party Charts in 1992 . Further successes were the singles I Talk to the Wind (1993) and When You Made the Mountain (1994). The latter was from the second album Guru Mother . Hawkshaw 's vocal excerpts from It's a Fine Day were sampled only a little later by Orbital in the piece Halcyon , in whose music video she also played.
After the second album, Opus III separated in 1994 and Hawkshaw started her solo career and has since worked with dance, house and trance artists such as Tiësto , Delerium and BT . Kirsty Hawkshaw also recorded an ambient album called Enlightenment , which was never released.
In 2004 the single Just Be (together with Tiësto) reached third place in the Dutch charts and number 43 in the British charts.
On October 10, 2005 she released the album Meta Message , a compilation of old and new songs.
