Born in Bloomington, Indiana, and now living on the sunny coast of Tuscany, Italy (thanks to love, and yes, my love of cheese!), I’m a singer-songwriter, a songwriting coach, and the host of a podcast dedicated to helping you transform your relationship with yourself and the world through the power of music.
I’m passionate about the belief that everyone has a voice worthy of being heard. I guide aspiring songwriters to unlock their creative magic, not through corporate structures or industry norms, but through a deeply spiritual, self-led approach to songwriting. This isn’t just about making music; it’s about making meaning, healing, and reclaiming your own voice.
My journey is heavily influenced by the work of Izzy Young, whose dedication to non-corporate music, artistic freedom, and community-building shaped my ethics and vision. His belief in music as a tool for transformation deeply resonates with my approach—songwriting isn’t just a craft, it’s a pathway to profound personal growth and deeper connections with ourselves and the world around us.
I’m Hanna Francis, and I believe songwriting can change the world—starting with you.
Through my podcast, I interview songwriters and self-help experts, diving deep into how music and songwriting can help us heal, grow, and navigate life with intention. We explore how writing songs can change your relationship with yourself, heal wounds, and create meaningful connections in a world that often pushes us to conform.
Songwriting, for me, is not just about crafting a melody or writing lyrics—it’s about reimagining who we are and how we show up in the world. It’s about personal liberation, authenticity, and deeply rooted transformation. I believe that when we write from our hearts, we can truly change ourselves—and in doing so, we begin to change the world.
I’m passionate about this mission, and I believe in the power of every song to make waves.
