Meet Hanna, The Big Bad Wolf
Emerging from the intersection of Eastern European grit and global musical influences is Hanna, The Big Bad Wolf—a genre-defying artist originally from Ukraine. With a name that sparks curiosity and music that delivers emotional depth, Hanna stands at the forefront of a new generation of artists turning trauma into transcendent sound.
A Fusion of Global Sounds
Hanna’s musical identity is shaped by an eclectic mix: the haunting intensity of Jeff Buckley, the emotive resonance of Ukrainian rock giants Okean Elzy, and the introspective textures of alt-pop powerhouses like Mitski and Sarah Kinsley. Her classical piano roots provide a technical foundation, while her love for rock fuels the rawness and edge in her music.
The result? A sound that is unflinchingly honest — rock at its core, wrapped in the ambient, artful touch of alt-pop.
What’s Next?
With In-between marking a stunning debut, Hanna, The Big Bad Wolf is clearly only beginning. Her artistic trajectory promises more bold, emotionally complex releases that will continue to push boundaries—both musically and thematically.
For those who crave authenticity, vulnerability, and sonic depth, Hanna is a name to remember.

Debut Single: In-between
Hanna’s debut single, In-between, is more than just a song — it’s an emotional excavation. Lyrically potent and sonically delicate, it captures the internal chaos of war, displacement, depression, and self-harm. With poetic vulnerability, Hanna opens a door to deeply personal themes that too often go unheard.
The track is both a cathartic confession and a declaration of resilience. It's not only about pain — it's about survival, healing, and making sense of fragmented identity in an unpredictable world.
Raw Emotion Meets Artistic Precision
What truly sets Hanna apart is her fearless storytelling. Each lyric carries weight, born from lived experience and filtered through an artist’s lens. Her songs aren’t polished narratives—they're emotional snapshots, layered with metaphor, tension, and relief.
She creates music that doesn’t flinch, allowing listeners to step into the gray areas of the human experience — the “in-between” moments where most growth and reflection happen.
