The Beat.

​I grew up taking drum lessons from my dad. Percussion is at the core of who I am as an artist. I also studied piano for ten years, and picked up a whole lot of other instruments along the way. I write (a lot of) songs about a lot of things, and sometimes I record them. I've played in pit bands, orchestras, jazz bands, folk bands, rock bands, and clown bands. I music direct and compose in many genres, and love creating live scores for theatre.

"Have you ever placed your keys between your fingers while walking alone at night? In "Night Walking" by Gracie & The So Beautifuls, Hannah Van Sciver plays a ring of keys, their jangle a steady metronome for Gracie Martin's jazz vocals and lyrics...With its sparse rhythm, "Night Walking" is a defiant ballad for anyone who has bravely stepped outside at night, a Wolverine with makeshift claws." - Stefanie Fernández, NPR Music
"Slow Me Down" music and lyrics by Van Sciver
