Marika Hackman

Experience the healing powers of music with Marika Hackman in VEGA

The British songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is known for writing organic and intimate songs about life's both light and dark chapters. On her forthcoming album, False Dogs, she burns through as one of the most uncompromising and honest songwriters of our time.

The album is, according to her, the most personal and fully cast work to date — created, produced and arranged by herself with a raw, acoustic and unadulterated sound palette. Marika Hackman is known for her distinctive vocals, her subtle guitar figures and her very special lyrical qualities.

Her music often combines organic, acoustic elements with distorted synth surfaces and propulsed drums. The text universe explores the transitional stages of life, the anxiety, joy and sadness of adulthood.

With breathtaking honesty, she balances the dark and the hopeful -- from skinlessly honest recitals about life's big milestones to poignant passages about everyday small, magical moments.

Marika Hackman debuted back in 2012 with the single “You Come Down”. The single was produced by her then-studio mate, the folk singer Johnny Flynn. Since then, the eminent songwriter has released four studio albums and toured with names such as Laura Marling and Alt-J.
