Renowned for her richly personalised, effortless style of hook-rich songcraft, Clara La San is a composer, producer, and singer who has developed a resounding reputation for writing and arranging songs that feel instantly familiar and timeless, with a distinctly fresh appeal. The 2023 self-release of her single In This Darkness earned her solo sound 100s of millions of plays on streaming services, pinpointing her status among the prized songwriters of her generation.
Whilst her music is patently steeped in a holistic listening of myriad musical strands - from early 00’s R&B to contemporary rap instrumentals - she braids her influences with inspirations from cinema scores and up-to-the-second sound design to express a singular style of soul for the 2020s and beyond. This palpable sense of classically emotive but modernist production is matched by a rare ability for realising top line vocal melodies, layered in blushing harmonies that instantly imprint on the memory and have kept her growing and devoted fanbase, including many other artists and peers, returning for more.
Clara La San deploys her enviably natural feel for extended melody at the service of telling stories borne from lived experience. Her discreet, observant skill at divining sensual poetry from everyday life has only grown in stature since early guest vocal appearances prompted her to front her own mixtape, Good Mourning, co-produced with Jam City and released in 2017, since deleted from DSPs - only adding to the mysterious allure weaved across her persona.
