Info
Hailing from Paris, France, and growing up in a small village of the French Alps, Clara Bellino blends heartfelt rhythms, magical lyrics, and unimaginable emotions into a rare mixture of solid American songs with an unfettered sense of humor and a European sense of what is amusing. Americans probably remain puzzled by her songs in French, but are still moved by the rhythms and the performance. Her English songs are instantly understandable and the range between Europop and American Music is beguiling. All you have to do is listen to \\u201cPotential Criminal\\u201d or \\u201cGoodnight Baby\\u201d and you won\\u2019t get these beautifully produced songs out of
your head.

There is no single word that describes her songs. It\\u2019s a mixture of thoroughly requited love and, at odd times, real aggression, but with a sense of humor that never fades. Critic Bruce Bellingham compares her work to that of Faithful, Blondie\\u2019s Debby Harry and Nico before her involvement with The Velvet Underground.

Clara grew up in a household where she was saturated in the essence of instrumentation and true musicianship. As a solidified Jazz fan, Clara\'s father exposed her to the musical artistry of such industry Legends who include Zappa, The Beatles, Mahalia Jackson, Bob Dylan, Fats Waller and Miles Davis. These experiences inspired Clara to pursue what would become her life\'s passion. She completed a ten year French Conservatory program covering Music Theory, Harmony, Piano and Tenor Recorder and is also an
accomplished guitarist.
