About Me

Claudia Fier is a Brazilian singer but may be considered a cosmopolitan musician due to her experience of living in France, England, Spain, Portugal and the United States.She is from a musical family, and was therefore strongly influenced by Brazilian music, jazz as well as classical music. Her father is a well-known researcher and historian of Classical and Brazilian Popular Music, and her mother graduated in piano at the Musical Conservatory of São Paulo. Claudia’s first name was a homage to Claude Debussy.Claudia Fier’s studies in Brazil included the classical piano, classical and modern guitar, modern harmony, vocal techniques, acting and performance, as well as classical and modern ballet.Claudia came to Europe with the aim of improving her singing, performance and vocal techniques at the TVU University of London, in preparation for her singing career in Europe under the new name of Claudia Fier.Her style may be described as “jazzy”: a combination of melody, sensuality and expressive Brazilian music. Claudia has been working as a professional solo singer and backing vocalist since 1985, and was formerly known as Claudia Ferrete. She also works as professional singing teacher for both singers and actors.In 1994, Claudia sang in shows and recording studios in Portugal and Paris. In 1996, she appeared at the “temple” of jazz, the Blue Note in New York, where she sang alongside Celso Pixinga, who is considered one of the world’s best bass players. She has also appeared with other famous singers and Brazilian artists such as Milton Nascimento, Edú Lobo, Joyce, Banda Mantiqueira, and Léa Freire.Between 1991 to 2000, Claudia toured Brazil with Tom da Terra, a group of eight singers and four musicians dedicated to the promotion of Brazilian music and composers.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
