Born in 1992, Marika attended school with Cara Delevigne where the two started a band, Marika first came to prominence when she featured as a model for Burberry and later made her first musical debut was with her 7-piece mini album ‘That Iron Taste’,receiving universal acclaim. Since then Hackman has released a string of EP’s, further experimenting on her sound and as such showing an evolution of sorts with ‘Sugar Blind’ showing a more electronic based sound and ‘Deaf Heat’ featuring songs of a darker nature. Working with producer Charlie Andrews (Alt-J), Hackman’s music let’s the listener see the world in a completely different perspective, making even the most mundane and ordinary of objects seem fascinating. With her light, soothing vocals, her music is the type you would listen to when taking a stroll at night whilst taking in the wondrous sights around her. Lyrically, Hackman channels something completely her own and often makes clear contrasts between both her whimsicality and dark lyrics – sometimes even combining the two meaning that a lot of fun can be had if you go into an in-depth analysis. Overall, Marika has marked her territory on the music scene and plans to stay there with her full-length debut to have 12 previously, unreleased songs.
