John Two-Hawks is a GRAMMY and Emmy nominated, Platinum Award winning musician whose music has been featured by Fox Searchlight, HBO, The History Channel, National Public Radio, NativeRadio.com, American Indian Radio on Satellite, Gathering of Nations Radio, and countless other worldwide media outlets. His numerous best-selling CDs, prestigious awards and ground-breaking achievements have earned him a distinguished reputation as one of the world's premier Native American musicians. Two-Hawks is a bona fide music visionary and pioneer who was among the first to introduce the Indigenous Flute to the world decades ago. From the beginning, he demanded the highest standards of excellence. As a result, John Two-Hawks has taken his signature brand of Native Flute music into places it has never been, brought it to millions who had never heard it before, and elevated it to a place of equal billing and respect in the world of music.
Two-Hawks is most known for his effortless virtuosity with the Native American Flute, and yet the Native Flute is only one among a myriad of musical instruments John Two-Hawks plays and includes in his signature brand of music. Some of the instruments JTH employs in his music are: beautiful vocals, guitars, keys-synth-pianos, percussion-drums-rattles, mandolins, dulcimers, and the Finnish kantele, just for starters! The tasteful musical mosaic of all these instruments masterfully weaved together in harmonious compositional arrangements is part of what has contributed to the worldwide popularity of Two-Hawks' music.
Even with the enormous amount of success he has experienced, John Two-Hawks remains true to his Lakota ethnic and cultural heritage, and has always continued to be fiercely committed to Indigenous human and civil rights and social justice. He is a kind, gentle and humble soul, as well as a brilliant musician, composer and performer, and this all comes through in his emotionally stirring and evocative, one-of-a-kind music.
