We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Hasan Govan, a talented musician hailing from Philly, now making waves in Chicago with his band, S@N!C Healing. Hasan and his band provide listeners with a unique auditory experience that transcends genres and pushes boundaries. Their music echoes the communal and spiritual vibes of a worship service.
S@n!C Healing’s eclectic palette includes rock, jazz, hip-hop, and alternative rock, a testament to their versatility and creative ambition. “We like to mix different types of music together and just try to mess people’s heads up,” Hasan shares, highlighting the band’s knack for innovative sonic blends that surprise and heal audiences.
Hasan’s musical prowess spans across piano, bass, guitar, drums, and auxiliary percussion. He taught himself how to play at a young age and his relationship with music is a personal testament to passion and self-discipline.,. Despite the challenges and sacrifices, including missing out on typical childhood pastimes to hone his craft, Hasan’s dedication to music is unwavering. “You have to really want to do music.” he asserts, emphasizing the importance of love and labor in the pursuit of artistic excellence.
The support from one’s community plays a crucial role in the life of an artist, something Hasan holds dear. He urges listeners and fans to support their artist friends actively. “It means a lot to us as artists to see that people around us take pride in what we do as well and enjoy what we do,” he explains, underscoring the reciprocal relationship between artists and their audience.
S@N!C Healing represents more than just a band; it’s a movement toward blurring the lines between genres and creating a shared space for emotional and spiritual restoration through music. As they continue to innovate and inspire, Hasan and S@N!C Healing invite us to not only listen but to feel deeply and support passionately.
