Hannah Laine is a singer/songwriter from Grand Rapids Michigan who began playing piano, singing, and honing her songwriting skills at a young age. Growing up, Hannah was very involved in the church but began redefining her own spirituality in her early 20’s. Much of her recent lyric writing stems from spiritual exploration and contemplation, inspired by her many teachers such as Alan Watts, Ram Dass, Eckhardt Tolle, and - of course - the goddess within. Hannah Laine's music is heavily influenced by Neo-Soul and R&B artists Hiatus Kaiyote, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, and Amy Winehouse. Her overall goal is to live life unbound by the human mind and social constructs, and to create music that is a free expression of her soul. Performing with Hannah Laine on the EP 'Cut Your Strings' are the following artists: Brian Williams (Drums/Percussion) Chris Bota (Guitar) Justin Avdek (Bass) Recorded by Jeff Oxford Mixed by Jeff Oxford and Hannah Laine Mastered by Michael Crittenden (Mackinaw Harvest Studios)
