About Me

Claire Whiting - 'Prolonged'

Add to My Profile | More VideosSinger-songwriter, poet, performer; Claire Whiting has come a long way from the small country town where she spent her childhood. Growing up in isolated bushland, imagination was her only entertainment. She learnt how to write stories, songs and poems at a young age, finding inspiration in Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush, Jimi Hendrix and Joni Mitchell. Claire Whiting writes from a heart of true inspiration bridging an emotional connection with her audience. Her stunning classically-trained voice and moving songs on love and life leave them wanting more every time.Through her career, Claire has supported many artists including John Malcolm, The Fauves, Loren, the Dave Mann Collective and Diana Anaid.2007 will see the release of Claire’s third EP, ‘Simple Gifts’. Backed by a small group of talented musicians, this is set to be her most successful release to date with sample tracks already receiving local airplay and award nominations (nominated Best Original Song in Bryan Brown’s ‘The Reel Deal’ film festival, Sydney).
