Singer, songwiter and performer, Tristan Hawk has been developing a solo folk project since childhood, first on ukulele and then on folk guitar, composing and shaping his songs independently.

Alone on stage, Tristan Hawk explores a folk music guided by sound color : chord varations, nuances of playing and energetic rhythms shape tracks designed to evolve from one show to another, in a fully embraced one-man band format.

His influences are numerous and can be felt in his writing as well as in his approach to live performance. The connection between folk and Celtic sounds take a special place in his project, both in rhythmic choices and in the construction of the songs.

Tristan does not hesitate to move away from classical structures to develop a freer vision of song, while maintaining a search for accessibility.

Having not received formal musical training, he developed a personal way of learning music, gradually integrating the necessary tools for his practice. This intuitive and progressive approach fosters a unique soundscape, where harmonic experimentation and the exploration of sonic colors play a vital role.

Following the release of his debut album in January 2024, Tristan Hawk received support from the press and local radio stations, including NRJ Niort, Ici Poitou, and La Nouvelle République. He has performed at numerous cultural venues, festivals, and community events such as Le Camji, La Sirène, Les Expressifs Festival, Rock en Sèvre Niort, Mélusik, and the big stafe of Les Jeudis Niortais Festival. He is currently working on a new EP, expected in late 2026, and is also releasing two previously unreleased live versions of his track "Irish Dance," scheduled for release on March 7th on all streaming platforms.
