Meet Hannah Rose

Today we’d like to introduce you to Hannah Rose. Them and their team share their story with us below:

Hannah Rose, a singer/songwriter from CA, has known she has wanted to do music from a very young age. Hannah grew up in a very musical family, leading her to start performing at the age of six, teaching herself piano at twelve, and learning guitar at fifteen. She has always made up her own songs because she was constantly singing, but when Hannah started playing piano, she started to take her songwriting very seriously. This led to her signing to a pop label when she was sixteen. Her first self-titled album was released when she was seventeen. After much thought and a beautiful experience, Rose felt called somewhere else musically, and cordially ended her recording contract to explore other musical paths.

Hannah Rose then found her way into country music because she started line dancing at a country bar in CA called Borderline Bar and Grill. She headlined her own shows at Borderline regularly, and was able to build a strong local following. With a heavy heart, the bar is no longer open due to a mass shooting that occurred at the bar in 2018, when Hannah was living in Nashville. In 2015, Hannah entered a competition called NashNext, and placed third in the country. She went on tour with Cassadee Pope and Raelynn, as well as worked alongside Scott Borchetta as a prize for placing top ten in the competition. Because of the confidence and connections she made through NashNext, Hannah moved to Nashville to connect with songwriters, artists, and industry people to further her country music career.

After living there for three years, it became more and more evident to Hannah, that her main music goal and passion was in songwriting. Due to the pandemic, Hannah Rose moved back to her hometown in CA, where she is currently residing and independently releasing her self-produced songs as well as writing for other artists in the LA area. With many artists releasing the songs she has written with them, Hannah Rose will only be going up from here.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
The struggles of music along the way have been finding the right place in an ever-changing industry. From wanting to be an artist to wanting to be a songwriter; starting in pop music, going to country, and back to pop, it has been hard to know what path is the right one. Most success stories come with the hardships and the sole fact that faith and hard-work, in the times you don’t feel successful, is key. The moment you give up, the moment the dream fades. Staying strong when the fruits of your labor aren’t evident is difficult, but I wholeheartedly believe it will make the journey that much more worth it.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a singer/songwriter, who is pursuing my main passion of becoming a songwriter for other artists. In the meantime, I have started self-producing and writing songs that I have been releasing as an artist. It has been an exciting journey seeing the songs I have created reach people in a way I didn’t think possible. I have been working alongside many independent artists, writing songs with them as they get their foot in the industry door, and I am very excited to see where these songs and other musical opportunities lead.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I have always been a risk-taker, life is too short to live with “what ifs”. I believe trying and failing is way better than never trying at all. Some of the risks I have taken musically are ending my recording contract early with no direction of where to go next, competing in a countrywide competition in a genre I was brand new to, moving to Nashville alone, and my current risk, of only working musical jobs verses having a side hustle as my main income. Writing for others, teaching vocal lessons, playing shows etc, does not always provide financial consistency, however the risk is allowing me to focus solely on music, and that is worth the leap of faith.
