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.

Hannah Georgas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
*Chours*
Shine
Is there a place for me?
Shine
Is there a place for me?
In your arms?
Can't wait to be yours tonight
Keep me warm from the cold outside
I'll be yours, if you just say you'll be mine
*Chours*
Shine
Is there a place for me?
Shine
Is there a place for me?
In your arms?
The lyrics of Hannah Georgas's song "Shine" are mostly about the desire to be loved and the search for a place to belong. The opening line, "Can't wait to be yours tonight," suggests a longing for physical intimacy and a sense of being wanted by someone else. The repeated chorus of "Shine / Is there a place for me?" conveys a more general sense of searching for acceptance and a sense of belonging, possibly in a larger community or even in the world as a whole. The final line, "In your arms?" brings it back to the desire for a specific person to provide that sense of belonging and comfort.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, as evidenced by lines like "I'm just a piece of mind" and "I'll be yours, if you just say you'll be mine." This vulnerability is echoed in the repeated plea for a place to belong and a desire to shine, to be seen and acknowledged by someone else.
Overall, the lyrics of "Shine" suggest a universal human desire for love and acceptance, and the search for a place to belong in an often cold and lonely world.
