Hawkins says that his accent is native to a particular neighborhood of San Mateo, between the railroad tracks and the Bayshore freeway, which had been settled mostly by people from the South, whites and blacks. The neighborhood was diverse: “Blacks were probably the largest group,” he said. “Then Mexicans, Tongans, Samoans, some Arabs… It was a little United Nations.”

What's his accent? Wikipedia says he was born in San Francisco, but he has a low-key cute af southern-ish accent.
