Details:
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 what could be a collector's item in years to come. This album was never formerly released and has a cover photo of Ian in the days when he had long hair and a goatie. It's definetely an interesting look compared to the way he looks now as you will see on his website. The album also features some of Australia's finest session musicians and clearly displays Ian's early potential for writing beautiful melodies and clever musical progressions.

Ian has been living 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.

Ian has written several tracks with world renown 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 has 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 Ian's writing over the last few years. Of course, it is due to the co-writing, the solid recording and gig schedule that he has been exposed to in both Australia and America.
Most certainly, the Ian Hopkinson story will be an interesting one to follow as he climbs the industry ladder at a rate of knots.
