Gabrielle Jeannette Hanna (born February 7, 1991) is an American internet personality, singer-songwriter, author, actress and YouTuber. She rose to prominence on the video platforms Vine and YouTube before releasing her debut single, "Out Loud", in 2017. Her debut extended play, 2WayMirror, was released on May 31, 2019, and her second EP, Bad Karma, was released on May 15, 2020. Her debut album, Trauma Queen, was released on July 22, 2022.

Hanna has also published two poetry books, Adultolescence (2017) and Dandelion (2020), both of which are New York Times Best Sellers.

Early life

Hanna was born on February 7, 1991, in New Castle, Pennsylvania. In 2013, Hanna graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in psychology and communications. While at Pitt, she was a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. After college, she worked for a marketing company that sold products out of a Sam's Club; she became the top salesperson in the US for the company and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, to help start a new branch of the company. However, she departed after realizing that they relied on a pyramid scheme.

Career

Hanna began uploading skits to Vine in late 2013 and later gained recognition for her activity on the Vine app, where she accumulated around five million followers. In 2014, she set up a YouTube channel under the name The Gabbie Show, which was changed to Gabbie Hanna in 2017 after the release of her debut single "Out Loud", but was later changed back to The Gabbie Show in 2021.

In 2015, Hanna and partner Matt Steffanina won the fourth season of the dance competition web-series Dance Showdown. After college, Hanna moved to Los Angeles, California, to work with internet media company BuzzFeed, but eventually left to focus on her YouTube and Vine platforms. In December 2015, a video accusing Gabbie Hanna of stealing jokes went viral on Reddit. In Hanna's response to these claims, she states she "never have and never will consider a comedian".

After Vine shut down in 2016, Hanna focused on YouTube. Meanwhile, she was nominated for two Teen Choice Awards — Choice Web Star: Female and Choice Viner. In late 2016, Hanna joined the lip sync tour Drop the Mic alongside other YouTubers.

In 2017, Hanna released a book of poetry, Adultolescence. Around the same time, she premiered her debut single "Out Loud" along with its music video and announced plans to release an album titled This Time Next Year. A few months later, Creative Artists Agency signed Hanna and she joined MTV's social media team. In June 2017, Hanna joined the main cast of web series Escape the Night as the vaudevillian and appeared in seven episodes. She co-hosted the revival of Total Request Live in October 2017. In November 2017, she released a non-album single, "Satellite", with an accompanying lyrics video.

In January 2018, Hanna was nominated for YouTuber of the Year at the 10th Shorty Awards and for the Social Star Award at the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Hanna released her third single "Honestly" and its encore "Honestly (Encore)" in August 2018. At the eighth Annual Streamy Awards, Hanna won an award for Storyteller and was nominated for First Person and Audience Choice: Creator of the Year. On a 2018 interview on Genius' Verified, she sang her song "Monster" a cappella but due to technical errors, the microphone was unable to record her voice properly. Fans spliced in clips, including vines and voice distortions, at the point of technical error to create a meme. Hanna has since released merchandise showcasing her singing face during the meme.

On February 2, 2019, Hanna released "Medicate", the first single from her debut extended play titled 2WayMirror. On May 31, 2019, 2WayMirror was released. For a period of time after the songs' release, Hanna peaked at number 5 on Billboard's Top Emerging Artists chart. Hanna reprised her role in the fourth season of Escape the Night and portrayed a Hollywood Star. She was nominated for Choice Comedy Web Star at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards. Hanna headlined at the inaugural Patreon Assembly on November 2, 2019. On November 16, 2019, Hanna released the music video for her song "Broken Girls".

The first single from Hanna's second EP, Bad Karma, "Dandelion", was released on April 17, 2020, and the second single, "Glass House", was released on May 1, 2020. The EP was released on May 15, 2020. On October 13, 2020, Hanna released a new book of poetry, Dandelion, named after the lead single of her Bad Karma EP.

Following multiple controversies with her former friends and collaborators, Hanna has taken extended breaks from social media on a few different occasions. To celebrate New Years, Hanna returned to social media and released "Rewired", a single from her debut album, Trauma Queen. She later announced that she had scrapped This Time Next Year and Trauma Queen would be released on July 22, 2022, putting the album up for pre-order, as well as restarting and rebranding her podcast. Hanna hosted her first live performance since November 2019 on February 22, 2022. In late August 2022, Hanna sparked global conversation around mental health challenges by publishing hundreds of controversial social media posts (including posts where she claimed to be the second coming of Jesus) in only a few days.

In November 2022, Hanna released "Haircut", the first single from her sophomore album, This Time Next Year. A snippet of the song was first shared to her TikTok profile in November 2022. Following the upload, the song garnered attention across the platform, causing Hanna to release the song. On December 23, 2022, Hanna released This Time Next Year, which peaked at 14 on the US iTunes Chart.

Personal life

Hanna identifies as a Christian, which has inspired many of her songs and poems.

She has spoken openly about her struggles with mental illness, including OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

Hanna took a social media hiatus from February 2023 to March 2024. She made her first public appearance since the break in July 2023, joining American rapper Prince EA on his podcast Sauna Sessions, where she cited mental health issues as her reason for stepping away from the public eye. Amid her social media disappearance, she has since re-emerged as a YMCA fitness instructor in her hometown of New Castle, Pennsylvania.

Notes

1. 2WayMirror, Bad Karma, and all of Hanna's pre-2021 singles were originally released independently. In February 2021, Hanna signed over her back-catalog to FrtyFve Records; however, Hanna did not sign with the record label, meaning all music released during and after 2021 is an independent release.
2. Bad Karma failed to chart on the Billboard 200 chart, but reached number 23 on the Top Album Sales component chart.
3. "Monster" failed to chart on the Billboard Digital Songs chart, but reached number 19 on the Pop Digital Songs component chart.
4. "Call Me Crazy" and "Shut Me Up" were originally tracks released for Hanna's album, This Time Next Year, however, the album was delayed and these two tracks were not included on the album.
5. "Roast Yourself" was only available on streaming services for two weeks after its release. It returned to streaming in 2023.
6. "Antisocial Media" is the reproduced spoken word rap that was featured in the second part of "Roast Yourself" added to music. It was given a limited release.
7. "Warning Shots" and "Hangups" were both meant to be pre-release singles for the album. Hanna decided to not release them as such; however, as the songs were already configured to be singles on streaming platforms, they were released separately when the album dropped.
8. Not to be confused with Hanna's 2016 YouTube exclusive song, "Roast Yourself".
9. The "Pillowcase" music video also features the interlude songs "This Isn't Fun For Me" and "Exhausted".
10. The "Broken Girls" music video also features the intro track "She Wrote It About You?" and the encore/interlude track "Broken Boys".
11. Season four of Escape the Night was nominated for multiple awards; however, Ensemble Cast applies to those who starred in the season (including Hanna) instead of just the show itself.
