Award Winning, Singer, Songwriter, just some of the words that can be used to describe Chinua Hawk. As a performer with hundreds of performances under his belt, Chinua has been captivating audiences all over the world with the simplicity and class that has defined his career.
“My show is very simple, what you see is what you get. If you come to my show, then I know you came to hear some real singing and to have a good time. I'm not a dancer; I'm a storyteller and a dreamer. I share these things with you onstage, it is just that simple.” Says Chinua.
Chinua has released three independent CDs and has just completed his fourth CD, A Beautifully Complicated Life produced and arranged by Joseph Patrick Moore.
