Mayer Hawthorne is the stage name of Andrew Mayer Cohen, born February 2, 1979, out of Ann Arbor and now based in Los Angeles, and he's a one-man soul revue: singer, songwriter, producer, arranger, audio engineer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist. He signed to Stones Throw Records and treated classic soul as a living language rather than a museum exhibit, all sweet melodies, snappy arrangements and a wink in the delivery.

A Strange Arrangement in 2009 introduced him with "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out", How Do You Do in 2011 had the breezy strut of "The Walk", and Where Does This Door Go in 2013 widened the lens with "The Stars Are Ours" and "Her Favorite Song". He also records and performs in the groups Tuxedo and Jaded Incorporated, and he's been nominated for a Grammy.
