John Hanson is a Detroit-based producer, filmmaker, educator, and community builder whose work centers on the belief that art can strengthen human connection and promote well-being.
As the founder of Aquarian Sound, he creates ambient, neoclassical, and experimental music while supporting artists through recording, collaboration, and creative mentorship. Alongside his artistic practice, Hanson teaches digital marketing and creative media, helping students develop practical skills while encouraging authentic expression and thoughtful storytelling.
Rooted in Detroit's vibrant Banglatown neighborhood, Hanson lives and works alongside his family, drawing daily inspiration from the area's rich multicultural character and strong sense of community.
His home studio is situated on an urban farm where seasonal growing, local food, and outdoor gathering are woven into everyday life. He is also the creator of Ambient Night, a long-running community music series dedicated to healing, reflection, and bringing people together through immersive sound. Through Aquarian Sound and its artist residency, Hanson seeks to offer visiting artists a place to slow down, connect with their surroundings, and create meaningful work within a uniquely Detroit environment.
