Tricky FM is the music project of Hana Freed - San Francisco based artist and musician. Hana started making music on the computer and some second hand hardware in 2018 under the moniker Niki FM after her guitar teacher was mean to her. 

She started quietly releasing tracks online and eventually released Bloodwork LP on Bandcamp in 2019 - it was mostly Apple Loops and samples ranging from Akira Yamaoka to Justin Bieber.

In 2021, Hana moved to San Francisco and started playing live often the black sheep on the bill alongside rock and shoegaze bands - they were all nice to her. 

After hitting rock bottom, Hana made an album about it called Peace, Love, Unity, Rave and released it on local San Francisco label Cherub Dream Records in 2023 and then opened for Alice Glass.

Tricky FM takes inspiration from early 2000s indietronica, drum and bass, ambient, freak folk and pop. 

Hana loves to play live as Tricky FM, talk on the phone, hold hands in public, make jewelry, and sleep in.
