5 May 2026 - Maya Hawke - To Love A Boy

On July 4th, 2019, Season 3 of the Netflix hit show Stanger Things dropped. That is when so many people were introduced to a new character named Robin Buckley, who inspired a LOT of 2019 Halloween costumes.

You all had one friend who dressed like this that year.  ADMIT IT!

That character was played by actress (and daughter of Uma Thurman) Maya Hawke.  

Now, when you all saw the name of the artist, a lot of you didn't need me to tell you that this was Robin.  I learned the name of the artist, and I wondered if she was related to Ethan Hawke (she is - that's her dad). Because, you see, I've seen maybe five minutes of Stranger Things. 

This isn't an actor's blog.  It's a music blog.  So, where am I going with this?

On August 16th, 2019 - just a month later - Maya Hawke started her music career with two songs that she co-wrote with Jesse Harris.  She was a young singer-songwriter, but was already showing a maturity in her storytelling.  

Despite her continued busy acting schedule, Hawke does perform live, as she did in 2020 - and her voice was just breathtaking.

Her new album, MAITREYA CORSO, was released last week, so she's also still making music - and the album is excellent.
