Hannah Ida, a Luxembourgish artist, discusses her journey from her home in Luxembourg to the vibrant music scene of Vienna, where she currently resides. Known for her atmospheric and heartfelt sound, Hannah introduces her latest single, galaxies and teases an upcoming EP set for release later this year.
Reflecting on her roots, Hannah shares how Luxembourg’s close-knit music community provided a supportive foundation for her early career. Moving to Vienna presented new challenges, as she had to navigate a larger, more competitive scene. Interestingly, music isn't her only passion, Hannah also works as a gardener on a collective vegetable farm near Vienna, balancing her creative and professional lives.
'galaxies' was born during the pandemic in 2021, inspired by her experimentation with a new instrument, the Pocket Piano Organelle. The track features a minimalist yet captivating approach, built around a single chord. Hannah describes the recording process as thoughtful and meticulous, ensuring that every element felt just right without overcomplicating the song.
She also touches on her previous release, 'sea of leaves' a collaborative project with friends that diverges from her usual sound, offering a more danceable vibe compared to her typically calm, introspective style.
Hannah started making music by learning guitar at 18 and writing her first love song, which eventually led to public performances and growing recognition. For her, sharing music is about connection, offering listeners a sense of belonging through shared emotions.
With her EP nearing release and an upcoming concert in Luxembourg on 21st March, Hannah Ida is poised for an exciting year ahead.
