“Sonus est qui vivit in illa “– “It’s sound that lives in her”. A quote from Manons favorite storyteller: Ovidius, simply because telling stories with music is what she loves to do most. Growing up in a musical family, music has always been a natural thing and a big part of Manons life. As a little girl, she looked up to her father, who performed on stage with his band regularly. At home she would climb next to him on the stool behind the piano, where she started to sing her first songs and play her first notes. 

Claire has an eclectic musical background which she uses to influence and inspire her as a singer/songwriter.

She quickly developed a love for classical, operettas and musical theatre which led to her gaining a place at the London School of Musical Theatre. After graduating she performed in various musicals before a drive to expand her musical repertoire led to new paths.
