Hannah Featherstone
Singer and Songwriter
Hannah Featherstone is Franco-British singer songwriter fuelled by the desire to shine a light on The Unseen. Inviting us to step away from the hustle and bustle, she clothes the silence with the warmth of her voice and weaves a contemplative and chiseled electro pop sound. After the successes of her previous album Word Bound (2018) and being featured as a contestant on The Voice France, Hannah is back with a new project. Light and darkness lead the dance in her new album Ode To The Unseen, in which hermusic reverberates with haunting yet powerful vulnerability, giving way to an almost sacred mystery.
A classically trained pianist, Hannah has honed her craft through her involvement from a young age in Gospel and sacred music choirs, her career as a solo artist, and her collaborations with other ensembles across a wide range of musical genres.
Her passion for songwriting deepened during her university years when she studied psychology. Through her personal journey, words have come to carry an utmost importance in Hannah’s creations. She has worked as a lyricist, songwriter and vocalists for international composers such as MaJiKer (Camille, Mélissa Laveaux), Federico Ferrandina (Dallas Buyer’s Club) and Steven Faux (BBC, David Attenborough’s Life of Birds).
Her encounter with music producer Estienne Rylle gave an electro twist to her off-kilter pop songs. Launched in 2018 at the Sunset Club in Paris, her album was featured on the iconic French jazz radio, FIP.
In each performance, Hannah brings her songs to life – an impassioned heart to heart with her audience, an immersive visual and musical experience in which she weaves together piano, machines and vocal technique to create a space for contemplative reflection and rest.
Having enjoyed performing on some of the most beautiful stages in Paris (l’Olympia, le Zénith, le Sunset/Sunside, le Collège de Bernardins), singing in festivals in France and Europe (TedXTalks, The Bath International Music Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival), and competing on the French edition of The Voice, what Hannah values above all else is the close connection with her audience. It is in her Word of Mouth Concerts, living room concerts hosted by members of the public, that she thrives.
