Victoria Hanna

Victoria Hanna

Victoria Hanna is an Israeli female vocalist and vocal artist from Jerusalem. She grows up in a very spiritual, religious community where prayer, language and elocution are valued highly, and this verbal tradition shapes her work.

Work and style

Her performances draw on ancient Hebrew sacred texts and explore their mystical qualities alongside contemporary forms of communication. She often combines older material with modern expression, bringing together the ancient and the contemporary in performance.

Her work includes an Ancient Hebrew rap form that combines hip-hop and dance music with ancient Hebrew texts. Jerusalem is a major influence on her practice, with its mixture of past and present, ancient and modern informing much of her artistic approach.

Voice and themes

Hanna’s work focuses on the voice, text and spatial perception, and uses vocal expression to suggest transcendental themes. She is noted for a wide vocal range and varied timbre.
