fanclubwallet is the project of Ottawa-based singer-songwriter Hannah Judge, who first picked up the guitar and ukulele in school but didn’t consider becoming a musician until she went to university in Montreal. There, she started volunteering at a music venue and began making lo-fi electronic music in her dorm room, gaining traction during the pandemic with the single ‘Car Crash in G Major’. Three days after releasing the track, however, Judge – who is also a visual artist – suffered a Crohn’s disease flare-up that left her bedridden in her childhood home for almost a year. She chronicled that experience on her debut EP, Hurt Is Boring, which she crafted between hospital visits with close friend and collaborator Michael Watson, who also helped produced her just-released debut full-length, You Have Got To Be Kidding Me.
