Biography

After growing up playing drums, guitar and piano, and listening to a mix of folk and rock, composer and producer Hannah Barnett first made an impression as a singer-songwriter in 2015 on Soundcloud with a release of an electronic pop track, Nails, which quickly gathered streams and garnered industry attention. Hannah then teamed up with producer Gil Lewis to release a 3-part collaboration, making ruminating pop singles including Mining which featured on New Music Friday, and followed up releasing a remaster of her debut single Nails to Spotify in 2018. After a hiatus, Hannah attended the prestigious National Film & Television School in a venture towards composing for screen, also releasing 4 pop-rock singles during her studies, experimenting with a bolder style alongside her signature emotive vocals. Now establishing herself as a composer for screen as well as an artist, credits include scoring The Space Between You and Me which premiered at Slamdance 2022 and showed on PBS, Dead Silent and This Is Not A Sport Film (both Yugo BAFTA shortlist, 2022 ), comedy Straight Face (Student Royal Television Society Award nominee), My Partner Lives in My Phone (Netflix x HotDocs), and Wet Look, part of S4 of On The Edge, Channel 4, due to air later in 2023. Hannah’s latest release is her original soundtrack for Mum’s Spaghetti, an animation short film inspired by 00s British hiphop, featuring young rapper Thaila Jada Charles (The Voice Kids).
