Album Notes

Hopkinson is one of Australia's most promising young Singer/Songwriters. 'Class Clown' was his debut self-funded album and was completed in 2001. There is a limited number of his debut album now available and we at "CD Baby" believe this is a unique opportunity to purchase an album that was never formerly released. It features some of Australia's finest session musicians and clearly shows Hopkinson's early potential for writing interesting melodies and clever musical progressions.

Hopkinson has been between Los Angeles and Sydney since May 2002, co-writing and recording with American and Australian film composers and songwriters. He has recently performed at several film screenings for both the Los Angeles Australian Film and Television Association and American Cinematheque. He now resides in Hollywood, California.

Hopkinson has co-written his forth coming debut release 'Strangers To Ourselves' with American songwriter, George Merrill. George is a member of "Boy Meets Girl" who had a No.1 hit single, "Waiting for a Star to Fall", in the US & Europe. George also enjoyed international success with the hits, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and "How Will I Know", both performed by Whitney Houston.

There is a distinct maturity that has developed in Hopkinson's music over the last few years, partially due to the co-writing, the solid recording and gig schedule that he has been exposed to in both Australia and America but also the wealth of life experience he has gathered along the way.
Most certainly, the Hopkinson story will be an interesting one to follow as he climbs the industry ladder at a rate of knots.
