ABOUT HANNAH ROSE PLATT

Originally from Liverpool and now based in Bristol, Hannah Rose Platt is a singer-songwriter with a wild imagination, a wicked way with words, and an undeniable ear for melody. She made her Xtra Mile Recordings debut in 2023 with Deathbed Confessions, a dark and twisted collection of ghoulish ghost stories, melodious murder ballads, and humorous hammer-horror tales. Drawing inspiration from classic horror influences like Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone, the BBC’s Inside No 9, and the ballad-writing of Samuel Pepys, Platt delivered an album that was as eccentric as it was haunting. Produced by Ed Harcourt, Deathbed Confessions showcased her unique storytelling prowess, standing out with its scintillatingly strange approach. The album featured the singles “Feeding Time For Monsters”, “Dead Man On The G Train”, and the spellbinding duet “The Mermaid & The Sailor” (featuring Ed Harcourt), which earned warm praise across the board, with The Crack describing it as “twelve murder-ballad tales dripping in gothic stylings.”

Following this, Hypnagogia emerged as a partner piece inspired by Nordic folklore. The EP combined four fully fleshed-out songs with four spoken-word interludes, narrated by British acting talent and BAFTA nominee David Morrissey (Sherwood / The Long Shadow). Hypnagogia was hailed as “something wicked” by RNR Magazine, further cementing Platt’s ability to blend rich narrative with haunting melodies.

Beyond her releases, Hannah Rose Platt has become known for her captivating live shows, often conceptual and immersive in nature. She has toured alongside notable acts such as Frank Turner, Ed Harcourt, and Chuck Ragan, earning a reputation for her magnetic stage presence and distinctive performances.

But her creative evolution doesn’t stop there. In 2025, Platt is set to take her music to new heights, developing Fragile Creatures—her upcoming album—into a full-scale theatre piece for this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The immersive, multimedia experience will bring her powerful songs about women’s health, history, and resilience to the stage, inviting audiences to witness the haunting beauty and strength of the stories she’s so expertly crafted. Following the festival, Platt plans to take the theater production on a national and international tour, expanding her reach and further solidifying her as an artist who seamlessly blends music, storytelling, and performance art.

Platt’s journey began in Nashville, where she collaborated with Grammy-winning musicians to craft her self-released debut record, Portraits. This formative experience in Music City was pivotal in shaping her unique sound—a captivating fusion of Southern Gothic, Rock, Art Pop, and Folk. Each track serves as a vessel for storytelling, with every song creating its own distinct atmosphere and character, drawing listeners into a world where genres intertwine seamlessly to bring vivid narratives to life.

With praise from Harper’s Bazaar (“Powerful & affecting music”), Billboard (“A rising star on the UK scene”), and GLAMOUR (“Destined for musical stardom”), and hers and Ed Harcourt’s duet comparisons to iconic duos like Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue, and Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan (Daily Express), it’s clear that Hannah Rose Platt is an artist on the rise—one whose unique voice and immersive storytelling are destined to leave a lasting impact.
