Hannah Mae Schoonbeek (born 16 November 1998), known professionally as Hannah Mae, is a Dutch singer-songwriter from Emmen, Drenthe.

Biography

Hannah Mae began writing songs when she was sixteen. Her song "Back to You" reached first place in the Tipparade in 2019 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.

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". 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.

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. In May 2024, she released "Ik wil dat je liegt" with Belgian singer Maksim, which won the Radio 2 Summer Hit award in Belgium. She participated in season 17 of Beste Zangers, which began airing in September 2024.
