Fresh out of high school, Hannah Jadagu released her debut EP, 'What Is Going On?', a collection of intimate bedroom pop tracks recorded entirely on an iPhone 7, which was, at the time, Jadagu's most accessible mode of production. An off-the-cuff approach to music making and instinctive ability to write unforgettable hooks belied the intensity of Jadagu's subject matter. Now, Jadagu releases 'Aperture' in 2023, her first LP and most ambitious work to date. Written in the years between graduating from high school in Mesquite, TX and her second year of college in New York, 'Aperture' finds Jadagu in a state of transition. 'Where I grew up, everyone is Christian; even if you don't go to church, you're still practicing in some form', Jadagu says, laughing. 'Moving out of my small hometown has made me reflect on how embedded Christianity is in the culture down there, and though I've been questioning my relationship to the church since high school, it's definitely a theme on this album, but so is family'.
