He was awarded the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2017 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to disadvantaged children in Moldova. He is a comedian and writer.

After gaining the prestigious accolade of one-hit wonder Tony toured with the group for many years on the comedy circuit before departing from the act and even wrote and starred in UK series Morris Minor's Marvellous Motors (1989) which lasted 1 series. These days a stand-up comedian, singer and writer he has recently been collaborating with music projects with sort of namesake Chesney Hawkes and Ash Alexander.

Tony Hawks originally started out as a singer and song writer, however his first brush with the charts was with novelty pop act "Morris Minor and the Majors". Their first hit was the Beastie Boys parody "Stutter Rap" which in 1988 hit #4 in the UK charts, #2 in Australia and #14 in Canada. Their follow up single "This is the Chorus" a spot-on dig at the Stock, Aitken and Waterman music writing machine failed to live up to the first effort and entered the UK charts at #95. It faired only very marginally better in Australia hitting #22.

Had a UK Top Ten hit in the mid 1980s with his band Morris Minor & the Majors (spoofing the Beastie Boys) singing The Stutter Rap. The Morris Minor was long-lived and loved, if somewhat unexciting, product from the British car industry.

Young teenage skateboarding enthusiasts regularly confuse him with American skateboarding legend Tony Hawk (misconstruing the 's in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game). So much so that after many emails sent to Tony Hawks asking for ollie advice, he appeared on Mastermind (1972) answering questions on Tony Hawk as his specialist subject.
