HANNA KRISTALL
Popculture
and a world between soul, spoken word 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.
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 LA’s music scene, she felt like her musical identity had just started to awaken and went on to work with Berlin-based producer Daniel Karelly.
In her early work, the pop-rock album 'Lady Mechanic', Hanna Kristall already hints at something deeper beneath the surface: raw, artistic, experimental. Now, her music is evolving into something more magnetic and charged with cinematic tension: electronic pop sounds and spherical beats surround her warm soul voice, opening a window into an inner world where reality and dreams intertwine. A mirror reflecting self-belief, struggle, inner vision and love.
Off-stage and behind the scenes Hanna moves through the film world and has worked for international productions with names like Guy Ritchie, Kate Winslet, Stephen Frears, Natalie Portman, John Krasinski,...

To produce her new songs, Hanna Kristall stepped back from stages, avoiding timelines and choosing her own pace and space.
