BIOGRAPHY
Discovering her passion
Hanne´s academic background is her classical training, although from a young age she showed a clear inclination towards jazz music. Hanne studied seven years of vocal performance and pedagogy at Barratt Due Institute of Music, and successfully obtained her jazz major via the Norwegian Academy of Music. She has also studied drama and has performed as a soloist in various musicals and operettas in Norway. She also currently gives vocal classes at a Musical Theater University in Oslo.
Hanne has released a total of eight albums and her live concerts have found an audience both in Norway and internationally, especially in Spain and México where she is considered one of the top 10 non-Latin performers of Mexican music.
Her latest album “Huldra” features collaborations of critically acclaimed Spanish jazz musicians such as pianist Dani Garcia Diego, guitar Maestro Gerardo Nuñez and bassist Pablo Martin Caminero.
Hanne has always been fascinated by Spanish culture, Latin rhythms and Flamenco. These musical styles are a natural expression in her music and in her albums such as “Oslo-Madrid” and “My Footprints” recorded together with famous musicians like the guitarist José Carbonell Montoyita, the saxophonist Jorge Pardo, the bassist Yelsy Heredia, the pianist Pepe Rivero and the guitarist Joséte Ordoñez.
Hanne is the first Norwegian jazz singer to take a deep dive into the flamenco-jazz genre.
