About Me


Mantric are producer/songwriters Phil Da Costa and Brian Locke together with vocalist/actress Claire Hearnden. Phil’s production and remix credits include Boyzone, Alison Limerick, Adam Garcia, Jaki Graham and he has mixed albums/tracks for Vanessa Mae, Darius, Katie Price & Peter Andre and Alison Moyet . Brian’s credits include songwriting and production collaborations with JJ of The Art of Noise, Stef from Thunderbugs and his own project Lock.
The project came together when Brian approached Phil with the idea of doing a trance version of the classic eighties A-ha hit “The Sun Always Shines on TV”. Through music contacts, they met Claire who fitted in perfectly with her singing and performing background.
Claire had appeared in Eastenders, The Bill, London’s Burning and Casualty before moving into the music scene. She then became vocalist for Hyper Go Go which charted two top 20 hits on the Deconstruction label. These performances led her to become part of Camisra alongside now superstar DJ Tall Paul and signed to Virgin Records. The band had a No 3 chart hit with “Let Me Show You” and a Top 20 follow-up "Feel The Beat". After this phenomenal success, she went on to appear in the Channel 5 series Sister Said. Claire met Phil and Brian after shooting this series and they started work on the Mantric project.
The trio recorded four tracks - including three fantastic original songs. After a brief spell signed to Sanctuary Records they went on to release "The Sun Always Shines on TV” on a Norwegian dance compilation album.
Mantric have had a fantastic response from people offering to remix their tracks. Watch this space for further updates and to hear these wonderful remixes! A big thanks to everyone who has become involved.
