On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Hani Abadi!
Born in the former Yugoslavia, Hani is a Bay Area-based alternative singer-songwriter, musician, and longtime bassist of the metal band Bilocate. On 11/30/23, he dropped his debut solo album Tiamat, which takes listeners on an acoustic trip that covers topics such as death, love, loss, and the emotions that come with the human experience.
Alongside the musical release for Tiamat, Hani has also released numerous lyric videos and music videos on YouTube from the album. Among those are a claymation music video for the song "My Story," which tackles the journey of a broken heart, as well as an AI-driven music video for the song "Dementia." The latter is Hani's tribute to his late grandfather, who suffered from the disease.
In this conversation, Hani speaks with Mike about his early interest in metal music and Metallica, the satanic labels and forbidden nature that came with being in a metal band in the Middle East at that time, relocating to the Bay Area in the states not long before the COVID pandemic, tackling death and paying homage to his lost loved ones on Tiamat, using his music to process pain, and more.
This episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman also features the song "Take It Away" from Hani Abadi off his debut album Tiamat, available where you get your music!
