The DUO is Kaz Hawkins’ songs in their truest form; voice, piano and the stories behind them.

With Franck Le Masle at the piano, Kaz takes the audience through her life song by song, revealing the experiences, emotions and stories that shaped the music.

Many of Kaz’s most loved songs are known for their piano versions, and it was through this way of performing that her mental health mission first began.

Using music and storytelling to turn lived experience into connection, hope and healing is at the heart of Kaz’s songwriting.

Kaz Hawkins and Franck Le Masle have developed a musical connection through years of performing together, but their bond goes far beyond the stage. Best friends who call each other brother and sister, that trust is at the heart of the DUO.

Franck’s piano doesn’t simply accompany Kaz. The two respond instinctively to each other, allowing songs to change, stretch and sometimes head somewhere neither of them expected.

The DUO is a journey through Kaz’s life, told through the songs that came from it.

Between the music, Kaz shares the stories behind what she wrote, where she was in her life and what those songs came to mean.

There is laughter, difficult truth, hope and the kind of connection that happens when an audience is invited into the story rather than simply watching a performance.
