He has over 3 million followers on TikTok, where he got his start sharing covers of his favourite songs along with his own original work.
Hansen has garnered over 900 million streams across his first ten singles, all of which he released independently, with his most popular being 2023's ‘something to remember’, a song that is reminiscent of Lewis Capaldi.
