Claire was born on a farm in the Highlands of Scotland, close to Inverness.

She went on to study music at university, earning extra cash busking in Glasgow and playing in several bands, including a sly appearance on Belle and Sebastian's Boy with the Arab Strap' album, and, more recently, Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegans 'Ballad of the Broken Seas'. After graduating, Claire travelled, playing music in Ireland, Spain, Azerbaijan, India, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Sri Lanka and Kenya. Claire now lives in Inverness with her one-year old son, Oscar
