FLYING WITH THE HAWK

Matthew Hawk - Sing for the King 

Download your free pre-release copy. 

Hello friends. I created this private page just for you! This is a free pre-release copy of my worship album, Sing for the King. I hope you love my songs. I have also included a small bio. 
Matthew Hawk - Passionate. Hungry for Jesus. Intimately seeking his presence with a guitar and pen in my hands. Deeply desiring connection. Worship Evangelism. It's a word that's been spoken over me time and time again--It reflects what my heart wants to do--what it feels called to do. While many of my live songs are storytelling about faith, love, redemption and relationships, this specific album is more of a worship album side project, while staying true to my vintage 90s style and tones.

There's nothing I enjoy more than drawing people into the presence of God. It's a deep desire to write songs for his glory--songs that speak and touch and heal. Songs that draw people to the Father. Songs that are alive and full of his presence and purpose. Songs that meet people in their brokenness and journeys with them to Jesus.

Like Moses heading into the wilderness, after leading worship at numerous events and churches at the turn of the century, my life radically changed and I served from 2009 to 2019 in the film industry as an actor, musician, singer-songwriter, double, and stand-in, working on over forty major films and television shows such as Pitch Perfect 3 playing guitar for the Bellas, or playing guitar in the Vampire Diaries or on ABC's Baker and the Beauty and BET's American Soul, or doubling and standing in for Finnick in the Hunger Games Trilogy (Catching Fire, Mocking Jay 1 &2) and Four in the Divergent Series (Insurgent, Allegiant). Oh, and I even flew the Gemini 8 as a double for the film, First Man, running lines with Ryan Gosling. I also doubled and/or stood in for famous actors such as Adam Sandler, Jon Hamm, Jake Johnson, Jason Bateman, Ed Helms and others on multiple occasions. I even saved Jennifer Lawrence's life once! (It's a long story.) On three occasions, I found myself on films that went against my spiritual beliefs, asking God if I should turn them down or leave, only to hear the Holy Spirit tell me to stay. Those three films led to fruitful encounters with famous actors who were hungry for Jesus, asking me inquisitive questions about my faith and the Bible. One of those encounters found me laying hands on an A-list actor from the nineties who cried out to God on his knees, "I want you, Jesus!" 

But then something happened. My son was born with a critical heart condition and survived three open heart surgeries. My wife almost died giving birth. I left the film industry to take care of them. There was a time of detox from the stains and muck of Hollywood--as the residue from the industry left me dry and scarred, empty of the presence of God. 

I drew close to God in that brokenness. I started writing worship songs and songs of faith again while helping families much like my own at a non-profit. I began to connect to my calling and my purpose all over again--this time fueled with the grace, humility and experience I needed for such a ministry, as the Holy Spirit catapulted me back into music for his glory and into the recording studio.

I signed a distribution deal with a small label through Sony Music's The Orchard distribution. Our first single, Running on Empty, debuted #5 on the top Christian charts for PlayMPE and was nominated for three Native American Music Awards.

However, the Lord spoke to me to break off from the distribution company before releasing this album, so we obeyed. This angered the small label so much they pulled our entire catalog of previous works from everywhere. You can't find the Christmas album or any of the four singles they released (I will eventually re-release them.) 

As of now,  I felt like the Holy Spirit told me to hold onto this album and not release it just yet. I don't know why, but I am waiting for his words, timing, and permission (and who we should distribute it through.)  God's timing is perfect. I've had to take the year off musically as my wife has been working on her Master's in Nursing at one of the hardest schools in the nation, so she can work with heart surgery babies like our son. She graduates in December of 2025, and I'm hoping to start playing out again in 2026--and I hope to see you at one of the shows.
​
I'm praying for 2026 to be a Jesus-centered, music-filled year with many musical ministry opportunities, and I would love to team up with you to make it happen! Thanks again for listening and I hope these songs find you singing along, praising the King and lifting you up.  Let me know your thoughts on them. Any particular song speak to you?

Much love and blessings,

​Matthew Hawk
