About

I'm a jazz singer and singer-songwriter passionate about performance and interpretation. As a Princeton University graduate with a degree in English Literature, my love for poetry and storytelling always finds its way into my work.

Music

I sing jazz and also write my music, which incorporates elements of jazz, soul, and contemporary pop. As the daughter of jazz saxophonist Don Hanson, the rich history of jazz and American popular music has been woven into my heart, soul, and lungs from an early age. I'm equally at home singing classic jazz standards such as "Body and Soul" and "What a Wonderful World" as I am sharing my personal musings on identity, love, and the complexities of life through my music.
