Hanin Elias

As a member of the German punk electronica dissenters Atari Teenage Riot, riot grrrl Hanin Elias is her own woman. Born in Wittlich, in 1972, Hanins' medicine practicing father moved the family to Syria where she spent her early childhood years. It was during her teens when her parents moved to Berlin that Hanin naturally rebelled and discovered music. She got involved with the punk scene, then switched over to rockabilly before making her face in the goth cliques. Intolerable of social mainstreams, she eventually began searching for another outlet by the end of 1980s. In 1991 she met Lolita Storm in 1999, as well as issuing her own debut solo album, In Flames, on Fatal/Digital Hardcore in mid-'00.
