Hannah Stone Bio

Hannah showed an inclination towards music from the very beginning. She used to compose songs and play guitar too. Her career bloomed when Hannah began broadcasting live videos on her YouNow account where she used to sing and play guitar for her fans. Her most liked self-composed track is ‘The 5quad Song,’ which was tuned the same as the song ‘Lost Boy’ by Ruth B. She dedicated the song to the now-defunct YouNow band, ‘5quad.’ Hannah sang numerous cover versions of several tracks, including ‘Fire n Gold’ and ‘Force of Nature’ by Bea Miller. Her YouNow account had over 370 thousand followers. She also had an account on ‘Krue,’ a live-streaming application exclusively for upcoming musicians.

Hannah’s fans are known as ‘Fannah’s’. The name was suggested by a fan of hers named Marie. Hannah liked the name so much that she later made an art with the term and wrote all her fans’ names and their comments around it. Thereafter, she started broadcasting sitting in front of that art to make her fans feel special. Before that, many of Hannah’s fans suggested the name ’stoners’ but somehow she was never convinced.

In 2015, Hannah attended a Video Convention held in Anaheim, California, and she was warmly received by thousands of her fans.

A few months before her death, Hannah worked at a Utica haunted house for a weekend, and she quit because of some personal issues with the owner.

Hannah died on November 1, 2017, at SUNY Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, New York. The world lost a great human and a potential talent. According to some sources, Hannah apparently committed suicide after she was bullied online, but, the real cause of her death is still a mystery.

Hannah last tweeted in September 2017. After this, she completely vanished from social media and appeared only twice after that. Her last Instagram feed came on October 14, 2017, through which she said that she would be going to the ‘DND’ mode right after that. This leads to the theory that Hannah might have been battling anxiety and depression. Her last ‘YouNow’ stream was broadcast on October 18, 2017, where she played the piano and sang for her fans. In the video, Hannah did not look like her previous self. She was pale and sadness writ all over her face.

Hannah’s parents blamed social media for their daughter’s death. Not in a million years they had ever thought that Hannah would do something like that to herself. She might have been constantly depressed about something or someone that she ultimately decided to end her life, just two weeks before her 17th birthday! Hannah’s funeral was held on November 5, 2017, at Dimbleby Funeral Home, Whitesboro. Hannah was cremated at Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

Hannah’s loved ones created a page to raise funds to meet the medical and funeral expenses. The remaining amount would be donated to scholarship programs.

‘Fannah’s’ expressed their condolences through Twitter and Instagram. Even YouNow too expressed its deep regrets to have lost one of their ‘Editor's Choice’ singers.

Hannah was born Hannah Elizabeth Stone on November 13, 2000, in Lowville, New York. She was born to Leonard and Angela Stone. Hannah had a loving elder brother, Garrett, and a sister, Brittany.

Hannah switched schools in Lowville and Whitesboro. Her passion for music developed during her school days. She was highly inspired by Shawn Peter Raul Mendes, the famous Canadian singer, and songwriter. The stardom that he earned at a very young age encouraged Hannah to start off early. She used to look up to him, for she found his compositions inspiring and relaxing at the same time. In one of her interviews, she expressed her wish to learn more musical instruments. Ed Sheeran too was one of her favorite music artists.
