Hello, I'm Hannah.

Hello, I'm Hannah.

I’m President of HH Creative LLC. I grew up in East Tennessee, the home of Dolly Parton. I’ve traveled the world, settled in Knoxville with my husband Jordan, and have spent the last decade and change honing my skills in all corners of the music industry to better serve the creatives I represent. I’ve been called “a squeaky wheel with a Southern accent” and “the tiniest badass in the world.” I wear both superlatives proudly.

Through HH Creative LLC, I specialize in artist relations and management, strategic music release planning, community building, and creative content management including communication, branding, narrative identity, and design. I've cultivated my skills by way of currently managing internationally renowned and awarded musicians, and having previously marketed five of North America's top music festivals and managed a pool of marketing creatives. Through my direct experience working with artists, labels, publishers, agents, publicists, promoters, and more, I know the right questions to ask – and how to get the work done.

I was named one of Knoxville’s “40 Under 40” top professionals in 2023, was a finalist for the Knoxville YWCA Tribute to Women Award in the Arts and Culture Category in 2023, was a finalist for the Young Professionals of Knoxville Outstanding Young Professional Impact Award in 2017, have been a featured panelist at PollstarFestForward, Midway Music Summit, and Knoxville's American Marketing Association Conference, and have even been cited in an undergraduate honors thesis.

“Hannah helped me in so many ways during the production and release of my debut album Zodiac. She planned and implemented a strategy that involved both granular details (social media scheduling, finding CD printers, revamping my website) and large scale perspective (assembling a creative team, building a pragmatic and clear timeline). Her experience and advice proved invaluable at multiple points, and she consistently thought outside the box. I received unanimously glowing feedback from everyone else on the creative team about Hannah's organization, punctuality, competence, and great positive energy. I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with her!”– Chris Pattishall, Artist
