Hanna Kristall

A world between soul and synth, trust and style

 

Hanna Kristall is an Austrian pop artist with Mexican and Polish roots, who moves between Berlin, New York and Vienna. She is currently working on new music and is expected to release her next song ‘La Mexicana’ in summer 2025.

 

Hanna’s path began in Los Angeles, where she recorded her debut album with Stacey Lamont Sydnor — producer and drummer for legends like Missy Elliott, Stevie Wonder and Robbie WIlliams. Her first stage? The infamous Viper Room on Sunset Strip. From there, she went on to directly perform at Vienna’s Donauinselfest — Europe’s largest open-air festival — and showed herself as a deeply emotional, high-energy and authentic live performer.

 

Strongly inspired by the rawness of LA’s music scene, she felt her musical identity had just begun to awaken and went on to work with Berlin-based producer Daniel Karelly after hearing him live on stage and feeling an instant sonic connection. They are currently working on new music and are giving each song time and space to develop at its own pace. Her early work — the pop-rock album Lady Mechanic — already hinted at something deeper beneath the surface: raw, artistic, experimental. Now, her sound is evolving into something more magnetic: emotional electronic pop, spherical trap beats and cinematic tension. 

 

To produce her new songs Hanna Kristall has been working in silence, withdrawing from stages, noise, and timelines. While music itself is a wholesome place, the world around is not. The noise got too loud and her silence slowly emerged in response to the hyper-speed and attention seeking culture. Her reaction is a natural and calm rebellion, an intended distance: not to disappear, but to feel, to become — and to redefine presence:

​

Hanna Kristall is an artist, who doesn’t want to be the center of attention – she wants the people around her to look inward, re-connect with their intuition, embrace transformation and touch self-mastery. And she wants people to feel seen, understood and connected. Her language is words, music and fashion – and by cultivating her own pace and space in a distracted and over-exposing culture, she is opening the possibility for others to do the same. She shares and connects but detaches from the outcome and outer world. Her goal isn’t to chase numbers, it’s to reach people at a certain frequency. She wants people to explore their own world and dive into it. Her songs are just reminders, guiding each person toward their own path and true self. 

​ 

While continuing her work on music, she will soon launch TRUST & PANIC — a collection of minimalist, high-grade T-Shirts in black and white (soon available online). 

 

Off-stage, Hanna moves through the film world – having worked with names like Guy Ritchie, Kate Winslet, Stephen Frears, Natalie Portman, John Krasinski,...
