Shawn Hawkins

Shawn Hawkins is an actor, touring musician and successful entrepreneur originally from Upstate New York. Now residing in Los Angeles, CA, he graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN with a B.A. in Theatre and a minor in Business Administration. Shawn spent the first half of his life performing throughout Upstate New York as a guitar and mandolin player as well as vocal artist. He led with several different groups before heading to Nashville to pursue a career in music. This led to 3 east coast tours with a country/rock group and many shows in between. After realizing his passion for acting, Shawn switched from a 2-year study of Music Business to the Theatre Department at Belmont University. He worked diligently to build relationships between the theatre school and with the film students at Watkins College next door to build his resume and prepare for his post graduate move to Los Angeles.
