Hannah Cianciotto is a Freshman at Garden City High School, whose love of music can be traced to her earliest years, where she was reared on a steady diet of the Cure, the Beatles (via the Beat Bugs), and the guitar licks of Brad Paisley. However, her most enduring influence would be Taylor Swift, who has ignited a passion for songwriting within her to this day, that is only rivaled by her love of performing.
While Hannah is a proficient violinist and pianist, in the past two years she has become inseparable from her Aged Cherry Sunburst Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Taylor Swift continues to remain the center of gravity for her musically, as she has incorporated and become a student of the soulful vocal styles of Lorde, Lana Del Ray, and Florence Welch as she continues to navigate her growth as an artist gifted with a natural contralto vocal range.
Under the tutelage of Natalie Gray, one of Long Island’s top coaches in singing, songwriting, and musical composition, Hannah has jumped in with both feet, creating her original music and currently working hard on writing, performing, and producing her debut album.
