With a career spanning beyond a decade, Hannah Wants’ rise from self-taught turntablist to global star has been nothing short of meteoric. An acclaimed producer regularly releasing on some of dance music’s most well-respected labels, and with a touring schedule that takes her to the biggest clubs and festivals in the UK, Europe, the Americas and further, Hannah continues to cement her reputation as a major player on the international scene.

With over ten years professional DJ experience under her belt, the last few years have seen Hannah’s horizons broaden as she continues to bring her ever-evolving sound to new territories. With standout US gigs in 2022 including the world-renowned Lollapalooza festival, a Las Vegas residency at Marquee and celebrated Chicago venue Spybar, Hannah started 2023 with a return to the US, with standout shows at Coachella, Miami Music Week, EDC Vegas, Avant Gardener (NYC) and Shambhala (Canada).

Closer to home she remains one of the most prominent touring DJs on the European club and festival circuit. Highlights from 2023 include appearances at London’s Printworks, Parklife Festival, and BBC Radio 1’s Ibiza event. With her DJ sets spanning across house in all its forms, Hannah dives into deep, tech, rolling, bass-driven and minimal sounds, with an ability to combine classic influences with her ultra-unique style. With an Australasia and Southeast Asian tour planned to close out the year, Hannah’s touring shows no signs of slowing down.

Continuing to break new ground as a producer as well as DJ, Hannah’s musical policy of creating dance music that celebrates “house and many of its beautiful subgenres,” has allowed her to work with a breadth of labels. Releasing what Carl Cox would go on to describe as his “tune of the year,” ‘Call Me’ in 2019 on Toolroom, as well as nurturing her own imprint Etiquette, Hannah’s latest tracks have been sought out by house music’s most attune A&R ears.

Delivering her, “most meaningful production to date by a mile,” and Beatport Deep House #1 ‘Cure My Desire’ featuring vocalist Clementine Douglas in September 2022 on Defected Records, Hannah’s relationship with the legendary London label continues to flourish. With three singles on the imprint within twelve months, following with ‘The One’ featuring ARA (April 2023), and the freshly released ‘Hard To Breathe’ featuring Hannah Boleyn in August 2023. With collaborations due to land with Borai & Denham Audio and Jem Cooke before the year is out, Hannah’s intentions to collaborate with artists of the highest order continues. Beyond producing music with the dancefloor in mind, in May 2023 Hannah also created the soundtrack for Chantelle Cameron’s world title fight against Katie Taylor, one of the biggest boxing fights in women’s history of the sport.

Young and with an obsession for music across the board, as well as the speed garage and bassline house scene that ruled her hometown of Birmingham at the time, Hannah had the dream of becoming a DJ from the moment she stepped into her first club. She taught herself how to mix on some Numark belt drive turntables at 17 years old and headed to Ibiza for the seasons of 2010 and 2011 where her dream started to become her reality.

Now a fully-fledged global star, her musical upbringing of UK garage, speed garage, 4x4 and bassline house evolved into her now house-focussed sound, pushing boundaries and on a mission to never be pigeonholed to one particular style of house music.

With an ethos of giving back and a dedication to supporting rising stars of today’s underground, Hannah uses her annual sell-out What Hannah Wants UK and Ireland tours to shine a spotlight on up-and-coming DJs. Selecting talent from around the UK and Ireland via a mix entry competition, Hannah has profiled her winners with supporting DJ slots on the tours. Previous competition alumnae include 2018 winner Fleur Shore, an artist who now tours internationally supporting the likes of The Martinez Brothers and Jamie Jones.

Recognising 2023 as her thirteenth year as a professional DJ and producer, Hannah’s priorities have shifted to embrace a more spiritual, health and philanthropic-lead lifestyle. With her focus sharper than ever on her next steps as a producer, DJ and label-boss, Hannah’s meteoric rise to global star will not be slowing down anytime soon. The best of Hannah Wants is yet to come…
