Hello, I'm Hannah.

Hello, I'm Hannah.

I’m President of HH Creative LLC. I grew up in East Tennessee, have traveled the world, and settled in Knoxville, TN. I’ve spent the last decade honing my skills in all corners of the music industry to better serve the creatives I represent.

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 have overseen projects that have taken artists to the Oscars and BAFTAs, and have facilitated performances of my clients’ work from Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy Center and beyond, including performances by by Kronos Quartet, Alarm Will Sound, the National Symphony Orchestra, Chequamegon Symphony Orchestra, Rutgers University, Arraymusic, Furman University and the Richmond Ballet.

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’ve been been a featured panelist at  PollstarFestForward, Midway Music SummitKnoxville's American Marketing Association Conference, and the Maker City Summit, and remain an engaged member of the arts community in Tennessee and beyond: I’ve been a supporting member of the Alliance for Women Film Composers since 2024, have served on the “Friends of Loghaven” committee for the Loghaven Artist Residency since 2024, completed my second term as a member of the City of Knoxville Mayor’s Maker Council in 2025, was named a member of Knoxville’s “40 Under 40” class in 2023, was a finalist for the Knoxville & Tennessee Valley YWCA Tribute to Women in the Arts & Culture category in 2023, have served on the Carson-Newman University Art Department (Jefferson City, TN) advisory board since 2022, served on the national advisory council for the AIR South Fulton Institute (Atlanta, GA) artist residency program from 2020-2024, and was a finalist for the Young Professionals of Knoxville Outstanding Young Professional Impact Award in 2017.

I am also currently serving as a Next Jazz Legacy business mentor through New Music USA.
