Hannah Laing

Her journey into the world of music began at the age of 15 when she attended her first club, witnessing Dave Pearce dropping trance classics like Delirium's "Silence." This pivotal moment sparked her love for electronic music. At 18, she embarked on her DJing career, starting with a gig at a small club in Arbroath. From weddings to birthdays, Hannah showcased her skills in various settings, setting the stage for her musical endeavors.

Hannah's trajectory took a significant turn when, at 19, she secured a regular spot at a Scottish bar in San Antonio, Ibiza. This marked the beginning of her Ibiza residency, where she played at renowned venues like DC-10, Amnesia, and Hï. The daily grind of keeping the energy high on the dancefloor honed her DJing skills and gave her a unique ability to captivate audiences.

The transition from DJing to music production was fueled by a combination of opportunity and dedication. Learning production on Ableton during her time in Ibiza, she dedicated her days off to mastering this new skill. Back in Scotland, she enrolled in a course at Escapade Studios and collaborated with Erskine Audio, evolving from basic looping to crafting full-blown, dancefloor-ready breakdowns.

Hannah Laing's distinctive style, blending house, techno, and more, caught the attention of BBC Radio 1's Pete Tong, Danny Howard, JAGUAR, and Sarah Story. Her remix of Sophie Ellis Bextor's "Murder On The Dancefloor" garnered global acclaim, earning recognition from industry heavyweights like FISHER.

In May 2022, she made her BBC Introducing debut at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. With over 3 million monthly Spotify listeners and 150,000+ Instagram subscribers, Hannah's influence continues to grow. Her podcast and club night, "Hannah’s Choice," featuring guests like Hannah Wants, Marc Kinchen, Jax Jones, and Ben Helmsley, add to her multifaceted presence in the music scene.

In 2023, Hannah Laing headlined the dance stage at Radio One's Big Weekend in Dundee. Her new single, 'Climax,' on WUGD, adds to a collection of anthems that span genres. Additionally, she launched her record label, "Doof Records," reflecting her love for creating a party atmosphere. Teasing the label with merchandise and upcoming events, Hannah looks set to continue her meteoric rise, leaving an indelible mark on the global music scene.

As she celebrates leaving her job as a dental nurse to pursue music full-time, Hannah Laing's journey is a testament to her unwavering dedication, passion, and the infectious energy she brings to every performance. With a flourishing career and ambitious projects on the horizon, Hannah Laing is undoubtedly a rising star to watch in the world of electronic music.
