Hannah Cosgrove ready to hit the stage

As a youngster who loved to sing, Hannah Cosgrove started her musical journey with the Morrinsville Country Music Club.

The 22-year-old pop/country singer-songwriter, who has been performing for a number of years, will grace the stage at this year’s 40th Morrinsville Country Music Spectacular show on Saturday September 16.

Hannah has worked hard to make a name for herself and she has had great success around New Zealand and Australia with her music.

Hannah has had a successful and exciting couple of years as part of the New Zealand Country duo, Mae Valley, with Abby Christodoulou who were contestants on The X-Factor New Zealand, where they were placed seventh and received a recording contract with Sony Music.

They subsequently released three singles, three music videos and an EP, which peaked in the top 10 on i-Tunes; their debut single Brightside placed on not only the New Zealand music charts but also those in Australia.

Hannah has now branched off as a solo performer, and continues to pursue her musical aspirations, to share and release music of her own.
