Originally a bedroom project formed by guitarist and singer Heather Sheret, HANYA is made up of Heather, Jack Watkins and bassist Ben Varnes. The trio released their debut EP ‘I Used To Love You, Now I Don’t’, in November 2018 on Bristol’s Leisure Records. Their second EP is expected to drop later this year.

“This shoegazing trio is fronted by Heather Sheret who is the owner of one of the best voices in music today. Her ability to switch from delicate pristine vocals to a fractious roar mid breath and then back again is, well, breath-taking. Part of the reason is down to drummer Jack Watkins and bassist Ben Varnes crafting these deep rhythms that give Sheret space to whisper and roar. Live they create truly a mesmerising and unforgettable experience.” Clash Magazine

“Over the past few years Hanya, frontwoman Heather Sheret and drummer Jack Watkins, have been winning over audiences and critics alike with a brand of visceral shoegaze that combines a Riot Grrrl sensibility, stark musicality and introspective lyrics. Live, Sheret’s vocals soar and rage. ‘I Used To Love You, Now I Don’t’ is a masterclass in minimalism.” God Is In The TV Zine.
