biography
For Jennifer Hanson, it's been a long time coming. Raised in Los Angeles, she's been building her own Nashville dream since she was a little girl coming to town with her dad, a seasoned musician who spent years on the road with the likes of the Righteous Brothers and Alabama. Through the years, Hanson has persevered, honing her chops, paying her dues and waiting for her moment – and that moment is here.
“Joyride,” her debut single for Universal Records South, is the perfect getaway song whether going on vacation or taking a family trip for the holidays. It’s the perfect leadoff single for an album that will establish Jennifer Hanson as the country star she was born to be.
In a town where players play, writers write, and artists go in and make records, Hanson is that rare creative soul who does it all – and does it exceptionally well. From “Beautiful Goodbye,” the song that put her on the country radio map, to the smash hits she writes for others – including career-breaking songs for The Wreckers (“Leave the Pieces”) and “American Idol” star Bucky Covington (“Different World”), Hanson is involved, and real good at, every aspect of the creative process.
Her upcoming full-length debut for Universal Records South is a collection of killer songs and stellar performances that fully encompasses and exposes the wide-ranging talent and panoramic vision of this one-of-a-kind country artist. She may be a beautiful young woman, but she’s not just some producer’s dream. Jennifer Hanson is a singer, a songwriter, a producer, and an artist whose time has come.
