Hania Rani’s music grabs you — its gravitational pull sucks you into a hypnotic trance, regardless of your will. Pianist, composer, and vocalist, she has emerged as a genre-blending nonconformist who nevertheless has made a name for herself interweaving classical, jazz, and electronic influences.

Born in 1990 in Gdan´sk, Poland—a city renowned for the Solidarity resistance movement,— Hania began playing the piano at age seven. She eventually trained as a classical pianist in Warsaw and later pursued studies in Berlin, where she began to explore electronic music

She is a quiet star — more interested in connection than fame or spectacle - and constantly seeks the new in her work, challenging herself and her audience in an active process for renewal and regeneration. Chilling Bambino acts as her alter-ego, an ever-evolving project that foregrounds her love of the Prophet synth taking the listener on a sonic adventure through dark-tinted electronica and hypnotic rhythms as Rani lets loose.

Catch the amazing Hania Rani at State of the Art’s penultimate night at Fríkirkjan, October 11 at 18 PM! Doors open half an hour before the concert. Tickets available at tix.is and via a festival pass.

This event is supported by the Embassy of Poland in Iceland.
