Hannah was born on May 12th 1981, in Tallinn, Estonia. She began singing even before she could speak. When Hannah was three years old, she joined the Children Music Studio where she remained until aged five when she went to join the Estonian Radio Singing Studio. Aged seven Hannah was ready to join the elite Estonian Television Musical Choir. At the same time she began to attend the Tallinn Music School where she excelled at the piano. By the time Hannah was thirteen she had produced her first song called Childhood land – composing lyrics and music together – which won first place in the Estonian Children’s Song Competition in 1995. This naturally gave Hannah great encouragement and self confidence leading her to produce further song entirely of her own creation. In 1997, aged 16, Hannah left the TV Choir to begin her solo career. Almost immediately she swept to fame by coming second place both in the Estonian Eurovision Song Contest and the Estonian National Singing Competition. Importantly Hannah performed her own song in the Eurovision Contest – “Lonely Soul”. Hannah has won three Golden Records “Best Female Artist in Estonia” (2003 and 2004), “Best Album of the Year” (2004 with “Ballads 2”). She has been nominated for six years in different categories winning many awards including “Best Song of the Year” (2003 with “Secretly”).
