Marika Hackman is a British singer/songwriter whose catalog encompasses everything from folk songs to alternative pop anthems. Born on February 17, 1992, in Hampshire, England, she was raised by artistic parents who both worked as animators. Hackman became proficient on multiple instruments as a young child and released her debut EP, 2012's Free Covers, at just 20 years old. Two additional EPs, That Iron Taste and Sugar Blind both followed in 2013, supported by singles like "Cannibal" and "Bath is Black." Two stars later, Hackman made her full-length debut with We Slept at Last, which was released by the British label Dirty Hit and climbed to number 60 on the UK charts. I'm Not Your Man peaked at number 74 in 2017, expanding Hackman's sound to include atmospheric dream-pop and grungy alt-rock. 2019's Any Human Friend charted at number 42 in the UK and number 23 on the Scottish Albums chart, and Hackman released a pandemic-era collection of cover songs, aptly titled Covers, before embarking upon a multi-year hiatus. In 2024, that hiatus came to a close with the album Big Sigh, another international hit that reached number 19 in Scotland, number 67 on the UK charts, and number 5 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.
