Gretel Hänlyn is a singer from London. Having been raised on a diet of Nick Cave she picked up a guitar & started writing her own gothic stories and songs at age 11. As she grew as a musician, started going to gigs & fell in love with Tim Buckley, Nirvana and then Wolf Alice, her songwriting began to morph into what it is today; a mix of hi-fi grunge, goth-pop and alt/indie ballads.
Following on from the release of her highly-praised debut EP ‘Slugeye’ and subsequent follow-up outing ‘Drive’ earlier this year, Gretel Hänlyn is now looking to see out her 2022 with a brand new single.
