Hanorah

Searching. Playfulness. Rediscovery of the once known. These thoughts permeate through Hanorah's creative impulse. The Canadian artist, chiefly known for her powerful emotive voice, transforms the old into the new as she charts waters at once familiar and unknown. Weaving influences from RnB, rock, and shoegaze, she’s ready to redefine what soul music can be, exploring new sonic landscapes as she creates something both fresh and timeless.

Her new EP, Closer Than Hell, is a collection born from that very tension—between desire and uncertainty, between the things you don’t know and the parts of yourself you’re afraid to face. But there’s play in it too. The kind of play where the rules aren’t clear, where you’re not entirely sure what is at stake. Her EP is about the delicate, messy dance between letting go and holding on—about being lost but also willing to find the joy in the search.

Hanorah, however, is no stranger to creative risk. After being scouted while performing, she landed her debut lead role in a feature horror film that is now set to premiere in 2025.

To date, her songs have amassed over a million streams and helped her tour Canada, the U.S.A. and the U.K. with many features at major festivals, radio stations, and television shows.

Whatever the future brings, Hanorah continues to find joy in the opportunity to create, by compulsion or invitation, through whatever medium is at hand.
