Hannah Jadagu - präsentiert von Rausgegangen

In the organizer's words:

Support: Oh Theia

Hannah Jadagu had barely left high school when she moved from Texas to New York to study music. Around this time, she was also working on her debut EP "What Is Going On", which she recorded on her iPhone. However, her unconventional approach to making music and instinctive ability to write memorable hooks belies the intensity of the subject matter. In 16 minutes, she confronted listeners with some of the nation's most pressing struggles through her compassionate perspective. The renowned Sub Pop label signed her and also released her first album "Aperture" this year. On it, Jadagu continues to tackle these issues, "Where I grew up, everyone is a Christian. Even if you don't go to church, you're still a believer in some way." Moving away from her small hometown made her think about how deeply Christianity is anchored in the culture there and what actually defines the country. "Aperture" refers to the aperture of a camera, a hole, a gap, a mechanism through which the light falls and which enables the person taking the photo to immortalize a moment in time. For Jadagu, the word perfectly sums up the mood of her debut album. There were certainly dark moments in the years it took her to complete the album, but the process of creating it, her first time in a professional studio, was ultimately a cathartic experience that she now shares with us.
