Powerful acoustic compositions birthed as singer songwriter Hannah Nyambe strums her guitar begin their life at home. Hannah speaks to Robyn of Sound Composed about her music, family life and the openness of an artist writing from the heart and soul. One unafraid to be different. They discuss within this episode and the bonus episode coming next the issue of navigating mental health and writing through challenges.
Drawn to sadness and emotive works, music can communicate messages that can help people know they are not alone and there is someone out there who gets it. Tackling storytelling as the IP of a lyricist, the joys of writing acoustic version and the exploration beyond comfort zones that comes with preferring acoustic but testing out productions for the market. Through live performance Hannah is able to look at her arrangements and unafraid to acknowledge that some may find the sadness and topics controversial but knowing there is a space for everyone to tell stories that reflect their own emotions and the empathy that artists can truly express in telling stories about what life as a journey brings.
This is a relaxed session where the softly spoken singer opens up about her world. Robyn lays out more on supporting behind the scenes on this session recorded earlier in the year.
