Student of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (jazz composition and arrangement) and the Music Academy in Kraków (symphonic conducting). The young artist is the author of over 130 compositions, some of which have been recorded on nine CDs. Hania creates music in a variety of styles, including illustrative, jazz, chamber, film or electronic music. She has won composition and performance awards. As the Hania Derej Quintet, she released the album Evacuation in 2024 through the Dutch label ZenneZ Records. The group played dozens of concerts at jazz festivals, community centres and music clubs throughout Poland. Music from the album has made its way onto prestigious playlists on streaming platforms, where it has reached 142 countries, with the highest listening figures in the USA, Poland, Canada, Germany and Japan respectively. The Hania Derej Trio is a new jazz project by a young artist featuring Hania's compositions. The main idea is to maintain fluidity, coherence and melodiousness with a jazz base. The music presented by the ensemble is a more delicate version of jazz with neo-classical, cinematic harmonies. Nevertheless, there are a lot of contrasting factors present, which create an impressionistic picture full of colours and hues. This is another chapter in the artist's work, who uses sound to paint a picture of a great dynamic of events, a multitude of responsibilities and constant travels, all served in a gentle and optimistic form, where the music is a description, but also a moment to unwind emotions. In addition, some of the pieces include the participation of special guests who join in this multicoloured work.
