About Me


"Hauck has passions at two ends of the spectrum - moody minimalist compositions and acoustic pop songwriting. When the two come together, the songs are excellent... Hauck’s voice and lyrics are just too good to lose." - Independent Clauses

"Giving a young and fresh take on the human experience, Hauck creates music that only true talent can express and passion can bring." - Margo Channing Theater Project
