Originally from Newmarket, Ontario, she played in a band with Tim Oxford of Arkells in high school before moving to Victoria, British Columbia to attend university.
While in university, she recorded a number of song demos in a friend's recording studio and quickly attracted the attention of other area musicians, releasing her début EP "The Beat Stuff" in 2008. The EP garnered airplay on CBC Radio 3, who later also named Georgas the winner of their 2009 Bucky Award for Best New Artist. Following a show in New York City in 2009, Georgas was invited to write a song for a Wal-Mart commercial; the resulting track, "You've Got a Place Called Home", ran in the store's Autumn advertising campaign.
She released her full-length début album, "This Is Good", on 27th April 2010. Two songs from the album, "Chit Chat" and "The Deep End", also appeared on a split single with Mark Watrous in 2009.
In 2016, she released a new full-length album, "For Evelyn", after several singles featuring tracks from said album.

On your own,what do you do
Do the walls talk back
Do you still do those things that you do
What you do
When im around you-u
When im around
When you cant sleep at night
Do you hold your breath
Do you count back from ten
Do you cry
Do you count
Do you cry-y-y
Do you
Hey do you like to
Chit chat
Chit chat
Chit chat to yourself
Do you try to explain those things you tell me
Then convince yourself
Convince yourself
Oh-oh-oh-oh
What's it like for you
To fall asleep with all your thoughts
Do you wake up blue
Do you just sleep it off
Wipe those eyes
Sleep it off
Wipe those eye-eye-eyes

The lyrics of Hannah Georgas's "Chit Chat" take the listener inside the mind of someone struggling with loneliness and sleeplessness. The verses contain different scenarios for the listener to imagine, asking questions about how they cope when on their own, when struggling to sleep, and when they're just with themselves. The chorus introduces the term "Chit Chat," which becomes a central point in the song. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the act of speaking to oneself, suggesting that it might be happening due to the lack of company.
The bridge of the song, "Is it just that you like to hear yourself speak? Is it all that you've lost trying to find a way for me?" adds a new layer to the interpretation, suggesting that the person speaking to themselves might be trying to work out their place in someone else's life or is looking for validation from an outside source. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, leaving the listener to ponder what the phrase "Chit Chat" might mean in the broader context of the song.
Overall, the lyrics of "Chit Chat" create a sense of unease and introspection, inviting the listener to consider what it means to be alone and lost in one's thoughts.
