HANNAH ROSE PLATT is an acclaimed singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, and storyteller, who merges the sinister authorial prowess of Nick Cave and Tom Waits, with the incandescent vocals of Mazzy Star and PJ Harvey.
Using genre as a vehicle for storytelling, she weaves magic into the mundane and explores beauty in the shadows; infusing emotive, versatile soundscapes with multi-faceted narratives and plot twists. Her music has been described as ‘marvellous, beautiful, and moving’ by esteemed author Neil Gaiman, “powerful and affecting” by Harper’s Bazaar, and she has been dubbed as “a rising star on the UK scene” by Billboard.
Hannah recently signed to record label Xtra Mile Recordings and released two records in 2023 to widespread critical acclaim. The first, a thirteen-track cinematic anthology concept album ‘Deathbed Confessions’ produced by Ed Harcourt, followed by the Scandi folk inspired EP ‘Hypnagogia‘, (written especially for her recent tour od Scandinavia opening for label mate, Frank Turner) featuring narration from BAFTA nominated actor David Morrissey.
Expect to hear a musical mixed bag of everything from David Lynch style 1950s ballads to snarly thrashing rock songs, and gentle folk-infused haunting vignettes linked through polarised themes of life and death, love, the afterlife, murder, regret, the uncanny, and the bizarre…
Born and raised in Liverpool and now based in Bristol, Hannah spends most of her time on the road touring both nationally and internationally.

“Hannah is a consummate storyteller and as soon as I heard her songs I was happily bewitched… I think we’re both very similar in the fact that we are obsessive film aficionados & therefore think in a more visual way in our approach to the music and the sounds. What I love about working with Hannah is that she is very free and totally open to my delusional bouts of grandeur and hopefully you, the listener, will hear the love and the pathos and the dark humour that we have managed to commit to tape in equal measure. Congratulations Hannah and I can’t wait for the world to hear this dazzling humdinger.” – Ed Harcourt
“Haunting is an overused word in music journalism but perfectly fits this stand-out, which contains all the pain and pathos of a Grimm Brothers fairy tale.” – No Depression
“’Deathbed Confessions’ is undoubtedly the album that deserves to propel (Hannah) into the mainstream. With its haunting narratives, breath-taking musicianship, and ambitious vision, this record has the potential to be the breakthrough moment that catapults Platt’s artistry into the spotlight it so richly deserves.” – Maximum Volume
