Untold Studios has announced the signing of Balan Evans (above left) and Eleanor Hann (right) to the Untold Music roster and will be represented internationally.

Balan Evans is an experimental filmmaker able to combine the honesty of documentary filmmaking with a desire to make boundary pushing visuals that grab people’s attention. In 2023 he captured a mesmerizing live performance of Brit Rising Star winners The Last Dinner Party that earned him a UKMVA nomination.

Evans's work for Rondo Mo, as well as Queen Harold, a compelling snapshot of a joyful, resilient queer couple in West Africa, made in partnership with Dazed, are both Vimeo Staff Picks. He’s also worked with renowned musicians such as Paolo Nutini and Sigrid. 

Eleanor Hann has been making waves with her raw and distinct filmic aesthetic. With a background in choreography, Eleanor has a unique ability to tell stories through captivating movement. Her work often covers themes around female empowerment. Her cinematic short Woman looks at the relationship between women, space and dance to share stories around motherhood, race, inequality and queerness.

Recent collaborations include an atmospheric visual for D Double E ft. Hamzaa and Ten Billion's Lifeline, as well as a series of films for rap artist, Miss Lafamilia. 

“We’re incredibly excited to announce the signings of Balan and Eleanor," says Annie Ayres, Head of Music at Untold Studios. 

"We’ve been working closely with each of them over the past year and have seen them grow individually from strength to strength. They each bring a fresh and distinct perspective to the Music roster and I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s next.”
