Hannah - You and I

26 year old Hannah, the most successful female entertainer in Estonia, is a gifted songwriter, singer and musician.

Hailing from Tallinn, Estonia's capital situated on the Baltic coast, Hannah released her first single when she was just 17 and has since released five albums in Estonia. All self-penned, all yielding chart hits, all drawing critical acclaim and awards - in fact her second album 'Ballads' is Estonia's best-selling album, by a female artist, of all time.

Hannah's musical journey started at a tender age. She has been singing since she was a child, joining the Children's Music Studio aged 3 before 'graduating' to the Estonian Radio Singing Studio as a 5 year old. 2 years later the gifted little girl started at the Tallinn Music School before joining the elite Estonian TV Musical Choir. Aged 13 she composed her first song, which won first place in the Estonian Children's Song Competition. Suitably encouraged Hannah continued to compose and perform and, at 16, left the Estonian Choir to pursue her solo recording career.

Hannah's debut UK album 'Everything Is Changing' is a collection of powerful self-penned and beautifully crafted songs. An extraordinarily talented musician Hannah's blend of ballads and classic pop has dominated the charts in her home country for more than a decade however 'Everything Is Changing' is Hannah's sixth album and the first to be released outside of her native Estonia.

Produced by Grammy Award nominee James McMillan and mixed by Grammy Award winner Brad Gilderman the album is released in Britain during May (date tbc)

The record is preceded by the single 'You & I', a "beautiful ode to being in love and the enchantment it brings". Released on Snowdog Records, the single is supported by a video directed by Rob O'Connor whose creativity has previously enhanced the work of Blur, George Michael and Ted Baker. Filmed in London the "making of" the video was filmed by MTV.

"The most successful female entertainer in Estonia"? She's so successful, I've never heard of her before? I can think of four female singers off the top of my head that are better known.

Who writes this stuff, her press agent?
