Clara Levie is a 22-year-old pop singer-songwriter from Montreal, Canada. She started winning her fans' hearts at the age of 14 while competing on The Voice junior of Quebec 2017; audiences fell in love with her voice’s heartfelt expression, fairylike sweetness, raw grit and ethereal vibrato, following her journey all the way to the semifinals. Bubbly and wise at once, Clara’s personality reached the public through the TV.
Clara is constantly developing her music skills by picking up new instruments, production skills, vocal techniques and songwriting methods. She boasts a high involvement in every step of the song-making process, having written every word of her songs and studied at Recording Arts Canada to learn the art of mixing and mastering. She is proud to be currently viewed by her teachers as a promising upcoming artist.
Clara's passion for music began when she was very little: combined with her natural emotional intellect, it paved a path at her feet towards a music career. She has been playing piano since the age of 4, and studying music for all her life. Clara has been gushing since childhood about the impacts she hopes her music will have on listeners: "I want people to get chills on their face!"
Clara’s lyrics are honest, raw, and striking, prioritizing the visceral truth over all else. Her first album “Peter”, which she is currently working on with the help of her teachers, is about her first love and its tumultuous fallout— it's a gut-punch, palpably vulnerable, and ungovernably heartfelt.
Clara auditioned for The Voice Junior of 2017 with the song “Elle est d’ailleurs”, which was released in 1980 by French singer Pierre Bachelet. Hours after her audition aired, the song had risen to the #1 spot on the iTunes chart of the province, where it remained for an entire week. This was an early sign of Clara’s reach and power: staff told her she had “revived a forgotten classic for her generation’s ears”, and “brought the song overseas”.
