Claire was born and grew up at the foot of the Alps in Switzerland, with an Irish Mum and a half Polish Dad. She moved to London 10 years ago to study music. A lot of songwriting and band practice later, she met producer and founder of Ambiguous Records, Al Mobbs, who began defining the sound of her record, and co-writing songs. And they drank a lot of tea in Al's kitchen.

After working together for a short while, Claire met producer Mike Hedges, who mentored and supported her and Al for a few years, and answered baffled phone calls from Claire, until she eventually, one day, knew what she was doing.

Mike has just finished producing her debut album, Those Thousand Seas, also co-writing a few tracks, along with Al producing on two tracks. Other co-writers include Al, Sally Herbert (who arranged all the strings as well), and Shelly Poole. See the "Credits" blog for all details of who did what...

The album cover is the result of Claire being a huge fan of Anna Nightingale ( www.annanightingale.com ) and her paintings, and Anna being gracious and amused enough to let Claire play with photoshop to climb into her painting "Remora", and settle down in it... They have been friends and fans of eachother's work for many years, and found there was a similar sensitivity in their work, beyond the boundaries of our visual and auditive senses.

Claire is now signed to Appleby/Universal Publishing, and loving introducing her album to you.


Very soon, physical CDs will be available to order by clicking on the CD here!
