KESMAR is a new chapter for Sydney musician Nathan Hawes. Having first picked up a guitar in 2006, Hawes spent over a decade serenading audiences with his folk tunes with great success. Considering his musical background, Hawes' latest evolution into KESMAR comes as an eyebrow raising surprise. He’s traded his acoustic guitar for swirling synths, introducing a more disco-oriented chapter of his career. The KESMAR project began when he participated in some new writing sessions in 2016, where he “basically fell in love with learning production and vintage synthesisers.”
