He is best known as the founder, lead singer, and lead guitarist of the rock band The Darkness.

Hawkins was born in Chertsey, Surrey to Sandra and Harold Hawkins. His brother Dan Hawkins, who was born on 12 December 1976, is also a musician. The brothers grew up in Lowestoft, Suffolk, and both attended East Point Academy. Hawkins cites Freddie Mercury and Bon Scott as his two biggest influences.
