Early life
Hanna was born in New Castle, Pennsylvania and has six siblings. Hanna is of Lebanese, French, and Polish descent.[1]
She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in psychology and communications. She was a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority.[2]
Before starting on Vine, Hanna worked as a bartender in Indiana, Pennsylvania, before moving to Ohio for another job and then eventually to Los Angeles, California to pursue an acting career and focus on her role as a social media influencer.
Career
2013–2016: Vine and YouTube success
Hanna began uploading skits to Vine in late 2013, and later gained recognition for her comedy videos on the Vine app, where she accumulated just under five million followers.[3] In 2014, she also set up her YouTube channel, Gabbie Hanna (formerly titled The Gabbie Show), which featured storytime videos. Her channel has acquired over 6 million subscribers and over 700 million views.[4] In 2015, she competed on and won the fourth season of the dance competition web-series Dance Showdown with Matt Steffanina as her partner.[5]
After graduating college, Hanna moved to Los Angeles, California to work with internet media company Buzzfeed. Hanna eventually left the company to focus on her YouTube and Vine platforms. She later created a second YouTube channel, The Gabbie Vlogs, which has gained over 1.6 million subscribers and 150 million views.[4][6] In 2016, Vine was shut down, and Hanna subsequently focused on YouTube.[7]
In late 2016, Hanna joined the lip sync tour Drop the Mic, alongside other YouTubers.[8]
2017: Acting, debut musical releases, and Adultolescence
Her debut book, Adultolescence, was released on September 19, 2017. The book chronicles Hanna's struggles throughout her life through a series of poems.

Hanna later announced plans to release an album.[13] Her second single, "Satellite" was released on November 21, 2017.
In 2017, the Talent Agency CAA signed Hanna, and she joined the social media team of MTV the same year. She hosted backstage for the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards and co-hosted the revival of Total Request Live in October of the same year.[14][15] In 2017, Hanna joined the main cast of web series Escape the Night as 'the Vaudevillian' and appeared in seven episodes.[16][17] Hanna previously had a small role as Lindsey in Laid in America.[18]
