Fiona Joy Hawkins is an Australian Composer and Pianist who crosses from Contemporary Classical, to World, Jazz and New Age, her four albums have claimed many International awards. She is also an excellent modern art painter with many marvelous painting works.

Having just won the Classical/Jazz category in the MusicOZ Awards for 2008 after being a finalist five times, and with a Piano Heaven Award, she hopes that Blue Dream will be the album to break through internationally.
Blue Dream is a 68 minute suite of music written by Fiona Joy Hawkins, produced by Grammy winner Will Ackerman (Founder of Windham Hill Records) and recorded at Imaginary Road Studios on a Steinway.
"Fiona Joy Hawkins" BLUE DREAM began as the most ambitious project of my entire career and resulted in one of the most remarkable collaborations this genre has ever known. The scope of what we contemplated in the beginning was so vast as to be nearly paralyzing, but with Fiona's talent, both as a composer and player, and a group of musicians of world-class caliber, a 67:50 suite of music resulted. The music itself spans a broad range of styles and ethnicities and yet (though we didn't know whether we'd succeed until the very end) is magically cohesive. It works! Never has faith been more rewarded. In the process we restored meaning to a word which has been sorely abused; Blue Dream is unique and I'm as proud of it (and Fiona) as anything I've ever worked on in my 35 year career of Grammy Awards and gold and platinum records."
