Hana Vu (born 2000) is an American DIY singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, California. She is of Vietnamese and Korean descent.[1] Vu began writing songs as a child and started performing around L.A. by the age of 14, eventually opening for bands like Soccer Mommy and Wet.[2] After sharing music for several years on SoundCloud and Bandcamp, she released her self-produced debut EP How Many Times Have You Driven By (2018) at the age of 17.[3][4] It was released through Fat Possum imprint, Luminelle Recordings.[5] Prior to the EP she had collaborated with Willow Smith on the track "Queen of High School".[6][7] In 2019 Vu released the double EP Nicole Kidman / Anne Hathaway, named after her two favourite actresses.[8] The EP cover features a painting Vu did of Anne Hathaway accepting an award that she later distorted to mimic plastic melting.[9] The same year she was included in The NME 100: Essential new artists for 2019 credited with "[t]earing up diary scribbles and mangling them into a scrunch of daydreaming indie rock."[10] Following graduation from high school, Vu moved out of her parents house and resides in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles.[2][3]
