Hello!
I'm Hana. I make music. Buzzfeed calls me a "blue and green dream scene," but there's more to me than my mermaid hair. As a musician and storyteller, I share my journey into self-love, empowering others to shift their limiting beliefs and build their dream lives. I'm obsessed with sunflowers & elephants, and I really like tea.
Read on for the rest!
Based out of Boston, MA and performing around the country, I’m currently living a life of fulfilled dreams, self-love, and a drive to keep on thriving. On paper, the path that led me here sounds pretty smooth: I knew at 5 years old my purpose was to become a professional musician; I played demanding roles in professional-grade musicals; I became self-employed at 20, constantly commended for my work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit.
Off paper? I carried that Professional Musician role as a burden, and it led to severe depression; I dropped out of high school, quitting my Broadway dream; I secretly only became self-employed because my PTSD was so severe, I couldn’t hold down a day job.

I’m not here to give you the highlight reel. I’m here to share every piece of the journey; the tools I used to shift from hopeless depression to rainbow mermaid dream-seeker; and the music I’ve created along the way.
Musically:
I’m a 2018 Boston Music Award and New England Music Award nominated pop powerhouse singer-songwriter, with a belt to her voice and a smooth jazzy undertone. My live performance consists of acoustic tunes inspired by the experiences of my life, from heartbreak to mental health to the journey of finding inner peace. My recorded tracks feature a full band and range from an electronic-pop influence to cute ukulele numbers. I regularly write for commissions and projects: My pop tunes have been featured in video/film with This is My Brave and Uncomfortable Conversations. Examples of commissioned wedding songs can be found on this playlist.
Fall 2019 brings the release of my single “Thrivers” off of my 2020 album “Simply Be”! “Simply Be," an album comprised of the songs I wrote along the journey of finding self-love.

A bit about the rest:
After years of depressions, traumas, and bipolar episodes, I found myself hitting rock bottom in the spring of 2018. I lost my sense of purpose, and was forced to take a step back to ask myself, “How do I find a way to feel fundamentally enough, just as I am?”
I began questioning my beliefs. What if instead of saying, “I’m not enough,” I said, “I am enough.” What if instead of saying, “I’m never going to get better, because I’m depressed,” I said, “My brain chemistry is aligned and healthy.” What if instead of saying, “I’m never going to make any money, because musicians are always broke,” I said, “My life is full of abundance and I am financially free.”
I opened up every aspect of my life, from food to fitness to money to relationships, and chose to reframe my beliefs. What I found is this: We take our beliefs as fact, and our beliefs are not fact: They are changeable, and we have the power to change them.
Since beginning the journey of changing mine, I have: Booked my first ever national tour, a 63-day trek across the country; begun the creation of my dream album “Simply Be”; obtained my dream car; moved into my dream apartment; doubled my income; removed all toxic relationships from my life; and became strong enough to carry my own music gear - a huge fitness goal of mine! And mostly? I feel connected with myself. I feel limitless. And I want you to feel that way too, you beautiful, powerful human.
