About Hannah

Hannah Abrahim is a singer-songwriter, producer, vocal coach, arranger, and music director from Los Angeles returning to Interlochen Arts Camp for her fourth summer. Abrahim’s experience spans many genres, including classical choral, contemporary a cappella, and popular music with 2-10 piece bands. With her passion for shaping the youth, she has taught high school music students through USC’s Thornton Community Engagement Program for underserved communities since 2021, privately vocal-coached students ages 7-62 since 2021, and music-directed JBHS’s NeoChromatics A Cappella since 2022.

Aside from teaching, Abrahim leads a multifaceted career in every corner of the music industry. By day, she works in Synch Licensing at Kobalt Music Publishing. However, you may recognize Abrahim as Cleo DeNile on Paramount+’s Monster High. She has also worked on productions such as Dora, The Lion King 30th Anniversary, and Brooklyn 99. Abrahim performs and tours with Grammy-Award-Winning choir Tonality, as well as multiple vocal ensembles within PHNX Wing Entertainment. Additionally, she sings background vocals for artists such as Jennifer Hudson, The Weeknd, Lil Nas X, and Interlochen’s own Joshua Davis.

A versatile musician yet also a powerhouse solo artist, Abrahim is a sonic and storytelling visionary in the R&B/Neo-Soul/Pop scene. As a first-generation American, she blends her “Egyptiarican” culture to transport her listeners to ethereal dreamscapes with introspective yet bold lyrics. Abrahim makes music that amplifies voices and promotes conversation about critical topics that are normally daunting to face. She has performed all over the country, including at the Hollywood Bowl, the Wiltern, and the LA Times Festival of Books. Dominating the music industry with fierce ambition, activism, and authenticity, Abrahim is committed to dismantling our culture of “fast-food music” by ensuring everything she creates has a purposeful meaning- whether that's uncovering “inconvenient truths” about our society or uplifting her audience with self-love.

I truly believe in a growth mindset—that what you put in is what you'll get out. Therefore, I try my best to set my students up for success by customizing my lessons to fit both a wide range of learning styles and the individual personalities of my students. This way, they can utilize their own curiosity, culture, and individual strengths to achieve their dreams. I also prioritize open communication as I want to be a resource to offer as much knowledge and guidance as I can.
