As a child, Clara Lofaro was a lover of oldies music and found inspiration from the Solid Gold Collection tapes her family collected from the local gas station and two records her parents owned, "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles, and "Close to You" by the Carpenters. Developing an ear for harmonies, Clara took up singing in her local community church and later ventured into musical theater. While she enjoyed playing the mini-skirted, controversial role of Mary Magdalene in high school, she began to feel her calling was to become a solo artist. To learn more about the music business, Clara landed an internship at a recording studio in Toronto called No. 9 Sound where she began to explore the option of perfecting her craft at Berklee College of Music in Boston. There, she was thrown into a pool of musicians from all around the world. Any ego she may have had quickly crumbled. Music was real, transparent and became her every day. Originally planning to pursue music therapy, Clara realized the songwriter in her was unleashing and there was no limit to where this creative path would take her.
To this day, Clara will contest there isn’t much glamour to her career but admittedly that’s not what she’s in it for. Clara’s passion has always been about reaching people through music and finding a common ground between ever common barriers. Today Clara, (often named CLo and CL by her fans) finds herself in a place she didn’t expect. She tours and has released 4 albums as an independent artist, one which she fully produced. She writes regularly for TV/film and signed artists with four songs placed this year alone. Her song, Just Smile will be featured on a Vanity Fair national commercial campaign this spring. Songs, “I Choose You” and “Rescue Me” are on promo for the popular reality TV show, “The Voice” and, “Can’t Go On” is currently streaming on ABC. With various non-exclusive publishing deals, and a strong song catalogue, the placements keep flowing in.
