Biography

Hannah Mae began writing songs when she was sixteen. Her song "Back to You" reached first place in the Tipparade in 2019 [1] and would be used in an advertisement for the Dutch supermarket PLUS. During the filming of a local music program, she said that Ilse DeLange was a musical inspiration. Shortly after, DeLange signed her to her record label, Spark Records. [2]

In 2021, after the COVID-19 lockdown had ended, Mae started her "Little Things Tour" through the Netherlands and released her first Dutch song "De kerkstraat". [2] [3] She decided soon after to only write songs in Dutch. In November 2022, she released "Wat wil je van mij", a duet with the Belgian singer Metejoor. [4]

In November 2023, she released "Waterdicht", a personal song written for her mother which addresses topics of mental health. In the song, Mae emphasizes that showing emotion is not a weakness but rather a path to connection and empathy with others. The song reached number nine in the Dutch Top 40. [5] [6] In May 2024, she released "Ik wil dat je liegt" with Belgian singer Maksim, which won the Radio 2 Summer Hit award in Belgium. [7] She participated in season 17 of Beste Zangers , which began airing in September 2024. [8]
