Recognized by Rolling Stone for her introspective songwriting and versatile musicality, 21-year-old singer-songwriter hannah bahng is carving out her own space in music. Growing up in Sydney, Australia, her journey began with her mother’s encouragement to take piano lessons as a child, sparking a lifelong passion for music. In 2021, hannah gained a dedicated following on YouTube, where she shared raw vlogs and song covers, beginning to explore the artist she wanted to become. Her debut project, The Abysmal EP, released in May 2024 via her self-owned label Bahng Entertainment, captures her authentic, genre-fluid style. Written, composed, and co-produced with her frequent collaborator Andrew Luce, the EP has already racked up over 30 million streams on Spotify alone. Blending pulsating beats, piano-driven melodies, and dynamic compositions, hannah channels her raw emotions into every song, unapologetically expressing herself in ways that challenge and redefine pop music. Her new single, “what never lived” continues her push to redefine the boundaries of the genre and bring her distinct creative vision to the forefront.
