Hannah Siglin

 Hannah Siglin takes advantage of music’s natural ability to communicate any emotion. Each song is a small window into her emotions. Every word and every sound comes straight from the heart. 

Siglin was raised by music lovers, a trait they have successfully passed down to their child. She was given a guitar at age 6 and seemingly has not put it down since. Siglin began playing by learning songs by John Denver and The Beatles. Learning these songs helped her to develop musically. As a teenager Siglin listened to hours and hours of Noah Gundersen, who can be thanked for helping shape her writing style. 

Nowadays Siglin looks to those same classic artists she did as a child in addition to Joni Mitchell, who she was compared to when she began playing music. Siglin also looks to modern artists like Phoebe Bridgers and The Japanese House. Other musicians aside, Siglin finds most of her inspiration while she is outdoors. “I find my inspiration in nature and learning to connect more deeply with myself as a part of it,” said Siglin. Growing up in Spokane, Washington, a city surrounded by nature, Siglin was able to build a connection and appreciation for the outdoors. 

Siglin moved to Boston to study music at Berklee, where she spent four years learning and growing. Here she experienced moving away from her parent’s Christian faith and her first real heart break. Her record ‘Seeds’ illustrates this growth. “Many of the songs on ‘Seeds’ deal with these coming of age themes,” explained Siglin. The title of ‘Seeds’ gives imagery to the idea of having seeds, ideas and values, planted in you as a child and becoming an adult and planting your own seeds. ‘Seeds’ is Siglin’s whole college experience wrapped up in a neat little vintage folk album.
