Originally from Nottingham, Hannah Brown made the journey across to the West Midlands in pursuit of her music. Since then, Hannah’s campaign has been a persistent one. From recording demos in her bedroom to playing headline shows, she has developed a faithful following of music lovers willing to have their hearts wrenched by sweet-yet-soulful vocals.

Whilst performing across the UK, Hannah has garnered support from BBC Introducing with radio play across the East and West Midlands. Following the release of Hannah’s first EP in 2015, recorded at the iconic Highbury Studios, she has gone on to work with producers Rob Derbyshire and Ben Stancombe. Her second EP – “Better For This” – showcases these collaborations whilst capturing a significant point in her young adulthood. Featuring songs of guilt, anxiety and self-acceptance, the record is tied together with a sense of bravery and melancholic hope.

2018 proved to be a turning point for Hannah both creatively and professionally, with the introduction of a bigger live setup that debuted in late July. Hannah’s first single with the band – “Further Away” – will be released in early 2019. The song features a more aggressive delivery than listeners are used to, with powerful guitars and an assured vocal to match. It comes as a response to the challenges faced by current society, particularly for young people in a restless Britain.
