Hannah Baiardi

Live In The D takes a look at a young artist who is breaking barriers between music genres.

Music is something that transcends time and space. Almost everyone can agree, whatever genre it is, they love to hear good music. With that in mind, our guest for Music Monday wants to do what she can to write music that breaks down genre stereotypes.

Host Tati Amere and Jason Carr were joined today by singer-songwriter Hannah Baiardi to discuss her new music. Baiardi first discovered her talent for piano and song writing at the age of three! Since then she has studied jazz at the University of Michigan, and released her first EP in 2018.

Hanna says since she is inspired by so many other artists, it allows her to add diversity to her music and not be tied down to one specific way of playing jazz. Baiardi’s single “Distant Land” was released earlier this year. It’s a song about allowing ourselves to take a break from the negativity in life and focus on the positives.

A soft and sweet piano intro sweeps open the curtains, allowing vocalist Hannah Baiardi to sing her latest release, “What Will Our Children Say.” A paean of positivity, the song is socially current and pointedly asks what kind of world we are leaving to our progeny. Baiardi deftly navigates this simple melody with imaginative lyrics and a catchy chord progression. If you look to her 2018 EP “The Quietest Place” her versatility is plain to see: she can go funky, bluesy and hip, playing originals and standards alike, one shining example being “The Nearness of You” which brims with emotion and is full of her trademark phrasing. - Debbie Burke
