Hania Rani’s music grabs you — its gravitational pull sucks you into a hypnotic trance, regardless of your will. Pianist, composer, and vocalist, she has emerged as a genre-blending nonconformist who nevertheless has made a name for herself interweaving classical, jazz, and electronic influences. 

Born in 1990 in Gdańsk, Poland—a city renowned for the Solidarity resistance movement, the first independent labor union in the Eastern Bloc active throughout the 1980s — Hania began playing the piano at age seven. She eventually trained as a classical pianist in Warsaw and later pursued studies in Berlin, where she began to explore electronic music. Recently, she has settled in London. 

Rani is a quiet star — more interested in connection than fame or spectacle - and constantly seeks the new in her work, challenging herself and her audience in an active process or renewal and regeneration. It is in that spirit that she invites you to the debut of her latest solo show, Chilling Bambino, a still evolving work-in-progress that foregrounds her love of the Prophet synth, reworks some beloved favourites, presents new songs and even nods at the inspiration of Laurie Anderson.
