Hanna’s unbridled style will stick in your brain.

Her first performance was age ten at the spaghetti dinner in middle school.  Whitney Houston was her favorite and singing "The Greatest Love Of All" made sense.  Hands in pockets, starring at the ground, Hanna was nervous.

Hanna continued to sing at birthday parties, in Spanish class, a disco band with her brother's friends, and by age 13 Hanna had developed a strong singing voice. On video, she sings Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love".  She is confident, and has control of her voice.

She recorded an album of original songs with Southern California rock band Roxy.

By college Hanna was introduced to Jazz and studied music theory. Overall, she looked for any musical situation, including busking in Europe in every town she visited.  Hanna later got a degree in Italian Studies from UC Santa Cruz.  She did concerts while living in Italy with guitarist Francesco Lesi. Hanna had found Francesco by cold calling a music school; she’d been asked to do a show after being seen busking in Italy.

Back in San Francisco, California she joined a 1960's girl group The Bang.  Hanna learned to dance in unison with the two other female singers who performed with the backing band.

Fast forward to San Francisco and Hanna used the same principle she had from the start: show up and go for it. The San Francisco Bay Area remains Hanna’s home, along with many other talented artists with whom she enjoys sharing the stage.
