Hannah Mae Schoonbeek (born 16 November 1998), known professionally as Hannah Mae, is a Dutch singer-songwriter from Emmen, Drenthe.
Biography
[edit ]Hannah Mae began writing songs when she was sixteen. Her song "Back to You" reached first place in the Tipparade in 2019[1] and would be used in an advertisement for the Dutch supermarket PLUS. During the filming of a local music program, she said that Ilse DeLange was a musical inspiration. Shortly after, DeLange signed her to her record label, Spark Records.[2]
In 2021, after the COVID-19 lockdown had ended, Mae started her "Little Things Tour" through the Netherlands and released her first Dutch song "De kerkstraat".[2] [3] She decided soon after to only write songs in Dutch. In November 2022, she released "Wat wil je van mij", a duet with the Belgian singer Metejoor.[4]
In November 2023, she released "Waterdicht", a personal song written for her mother which addresses topics of mental health. In the song, Mae emphasizes that showing emotion is not a weakness but rather a path to connection and empathy with others. The song reached number nine in the Dutch Top 40.[5] [6] In May 2024, she released "Ik wil dat je liegt" with Belgian singer Maksim, which won the Radio 2 Summer Hit award in Belgium.[7] She participated in season 17 of Beste Zangers , which began airing in September 2024.[8]
In 2026, she collaborated with Dutch rock band Bløf on the song "Ik ben niet meer bang", which was released on 27 March and lyrically discusses trust and feelings of safety.[9]
