Evan Hannah

Just releasing his incredible new track “Overwhelmed” – Evan Hannah is emerging as a dynamic force in the art world, Evan is a queer Black multi-disciplinary artist, performer, writer, and music educator based in Arlington, VA. Their artistic journey began in Virginia Beach, where they were mentored by John Vann, whose guidance ignited Evan’s passion for music and community involvement from an early age. Participating in programs like The Boy’s Choir of Hampton Roads and the Norfolk State University Summer Music Clinic, Evan found their calling in Black artistry, shaping their artistic vision and dedication to communal expression.

Evan’s artistic path began at age 9, rooted in their local community and inspired by their experiences and Mr. Vann’s mentorship. They turned to songwriting as a means of navigating the complexities of adolescence, with themes of grief, self-acceptance, and loneliness reflecting in their work. Each project serves as a conduit for personal healing and communal connection, inviting audiences to explore the human experience with empathy and grace.

Beyond their artistic pursuits, Evan is channeling their creative energy into entrepreneurship with the upcoming launch of their skincare line, Surrender Skin, in January 2025. This new venture embodies their commitment to holistic self-expression and community empowerment, reflecting a vision where beauty aligns with authenticity and self-love.

Having spent years creating and performing original works in Hampton Roads, Evan is now preparing for their official artistic debut with a new album set for release this fall. Under Vann’s mentorship, they have explored a diverse range of musical expressions, including classical music, gospel/choral, and original compositions, broadening their artistic palette and expanding their creative boundaries.
