About Eli:
To: The Indie Street Cred Powers That Be From: Eli, musician, 24, female, blue eyes, looking.
My label said I need to have a bio if I want [redacted] to put me on Fresh Finds or [redacted] to give me a 7.8 on Pitchfork. To which you’re probably thinking, “wow. The label couldn’t even afford a PR person to write this bio?” and the answer is yes. Tough times at Zelig (but you didn’t hear that from me). Luckily, my debut album Stage Girl came out on Halloween before they closed the doors for good ⋆。°✩ Stage Girl is what happens when you give a girl from the suburbs of Massachusetts too much Dunkin: a conceptual pop epic about reclaiming the fedora and childhood trauma through a fictional reality singing competition. My most formative moments with music were sitting on a beige Bernie and Phils carpet and voting for my favorite girls on singing competitions (#JusticeForHaileyReinhart). Amanda Overmyer was my Janis Joplin, Jessica Sanchez was my Whitney Houston. Seeing some random girl belt her heart out every Tuesday to Billy Crystal lit a fire in me so strong I started singing on the internet (so not that strong). I got a record deal from it, but they tried to make me be Justin Bieber, so I stopped This time though, I started posting everything; every demo, most thoughts, some selfies… I was throwing spaghetti at the wall. Do you like spaghetti?
Hania Rani is a pianist, composer and musician who, was born in Gdansk and splits her life between Warsaw, where she makes her home, and Berlin where she studied and often works. Her debut album ‘Esja’, a beguiling collection of solo piano pieces on Gondwana Records was released to international acclaim on April 5th 2019 including nominations in 5 categories in the Polish music industries very own Grammys, the Fryderyki, and winning the Discovery of the Year 2019 in the Empik chain’s Bestseller Awards and the prestigious Sanki award for the most interesting new face of Polish music chosen by Polish journalists. Rani also composed the music for her first full length movie “I Never Cry” directed by Piotr Domalewski and for the play “Nora” directed by Michał Zdunik. Her song “Eden” was used as a soundtrack of a short movie by Małgorzata Szumowska for Miu Miu’s movie cycle “Women’s Tales”
Her follow-up album, the expansive, cinematic, ‘Home’, is rebased on May 15th and finds Rani expanding her palate: adding vocals and subtle electronics to her music as well as being joined on some tracks by bassist Ziemowit Klimek and drummer Wojtek Warmijak. The album reunites her with recording engineers, Piotr Wieczorek and Ignacy Gruszecki (Monochrom Studio) and the tracks were again mixed again by Gijs van Klooster in his studio in Amsterdam and by Piotr Wieczorek in Warsaw ( Ombelico and Come Back Home). Home was mastered by Zino Mikorey in Berlin (known for his work on albums by artists such as Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds).
For Rani, Home, is very much a continuation of the work she started on Esja, “the completion of the sentence” as she puts it. The album offers a metaphorical journey: the story of places that become our home sometimes by chance, sometimes by choice. It is the story of leaving a place that is familiar and the journey that follows it. Home opens with the fragment of the short story “Loneliness” by Bruno Schulz, which can be seen as a parable of a journey that does not necessarily mean going beyond the physical door but can signify going beyond the symbolic limits of our knowledge and imagination.

Her song “Eden” was used as a soundtrack of a short movie by Małgorzata Szumowska for Miu Miu’s movie cycle “Women’s Tales”
Her follow-up album, the expansive, cinematic, ‘Home’, is rebased on May 15th and finds Rani expanding her palate: adding vocals and subtle electronics to her music as well as being joined on some tracks by bassist Ziemowit Klimek and drummer Wojtek Warmijak. The album reunites her with recording engineers, Piotr Wieczorek and Ignacy Gruszecki (Monochrom Studio) and the tracks were again mixed again by Gijs van Klooster in his studio in Amsterdam and by Piotr Wieczorek in Warsaw ( Ombelico and Come Back Home). Home was mastered by Zino Mikorey in Berlin (known for his work on albums by artists such as Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds).
For Rani, Home, is very much a continuation of the work she started on Esja, “the completion of the sentence” as she puts it. The album offers a metaphorical journey: the story of places that become our home sometimes by chance, sometimes by choice. It is the story of leaving a place that is familiar and the journey that follows it. Home opens with the fragment of the short story “Loneliness” by Bruno Schulz, which can be seen as a parable of a journey that does not necessarily mean going beyond the physical door but can signify going beyond the symbolic limits of our knowledge and imagination.

Her song “Eden” was used as a soundtrack of a short movie by Małgorzata Szumowska for Miu Miu’s movie cycle “Women’s Tales”
Her follow-up album, the expansive, cinematic, ‘Home’, is rebased on May 15th and finds Rani expanding her palate: adding vocals and subtle electronics to her music as well as being joined on some tracks by bassist Ziemowit Klimek and drummer Wojtek Warmijak. The album reunites her with recording engineers, Piotr Wieczorek and Ignacy Gruszecki (Monochrom Studio) and the tracks were again mixed again by Gijs van Klooster in his studio in Amsterdam and by Piotr Wieczorek in Warsaw ( Ombelico and Come Back Home). Home was mastered by Zino Mikorey in Berlin (known for his work on albums by artists such as Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds).
For Rani, Home, is very much a continuation of the work she started on Esja, “the completion of the sentence” as she puts it. The album offers a metaphorical journey: the story of places that become our home sometimes by chance, sometimes by choice. It is the story of leaving a place that is familiar and the journey that follows it. Home opens with the fragment of the short story “Loneliness” by Bruno Schulz, which can be seen as a parable of a journey that does not necessarily mean going beyond the physical door but can signify going beyond the symbolic limits of our knowledge and imagination.

Her song “Eden” was used as a soundtrack of a short movie by Małgorzata Szumowska for Miu Miu’s movie cycle “Women’s Tales”
Her follow-up album, the expansive, cinematic, ‘Home’, is rebased on May 15th and finds Rani expanding her palate: adding vocals and subtle electronics to her music as well as being joined on some tracks by bassist Ziemowit Klimek and drummer Wojtek Warmijak. The album reunites her with recording engineers, Piotr Wieczorek and Ignacy Gruszecki (Monochrom Studio) and the tracks were again mixed again by Gijs van Klooster in his studio in Amsterdam and by Piotr Wieczorek in Warsaw ( Ombelico and Come Back Home). Home was mastered by Zino Mikorey in Berlin (known for his work on albums by artists such as Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds).
For Rani, Home, is very much a continuation of the work she started on Esja, “the completion of the sentence” as she puts it. The album offers a metaphorical journey: the story of places that become our home sometimes by chance, sometimes by choice. It is the story of leaving a place that is familiar and the journey that follows it. Home opens with the fragment of the short story “Loneliness” by Bruno Schulz, which can be seen as a parable of a journey that does not necessarily mean going beyond the physical door but can signify going beyond the symbolic limits of our knowledge and imagination.
