Hannah Cohen is an American singer and model from San Francisco, born in 1986. She is based in New York and is associated with indie pop and folk-influenced music.

She first starts playing guitar after meeting a circle of musicians in New York that includes Grammy Award winner Jesse Harris and cabaret artist Justin Bond. Her early work draws on Brazilian records from the 1960s and 1970s, and she cites Caetano Veloso’s album Jóia as a particular favourite.

Her debut single is “Child Bride”, and the video for it is made by photographer Matthu Placek, who works for V Magazine and Vogue. Her folk-inflected songs later attract the attention of Thomas Bartlett, who works with Antony and the Johnsons; Bartlett and Cohen collaborate on her first album.
