Now he's putting his own stamp on that tradition with the funky neo-soul and breakbeat production of his debut record, "A Strange Arrangement." In this interview, Hawthorne explains how his days spinning as a hip-hop DJ influenced his sound, and he reflects on the whirlwind year that's accompanied his breakthrough success.
