Hey guys,
My name is Claudia and after being in a band for 4 years—I’m looking for something new! I have been a singer for a REALLY long time. I’ve sang in bands, plays, school events (I had to sing the star spangled banner every morning in elementary school…wasn’t my FAVORITE song to sing, but it was cool that everyone heard me) but, I am obsessed with singing and I cannot wait to find a new band.
My voice is really flexible. I PREFER blues, jazz, folk, alternative…but again, if I’m into the songs and into the music, I just like singing in general. The act of singing is important to me. I sing throughout the day and I don’t even realize it.
I write a LOT of songs but unfortunately (and I know, this is a drag…) but I don’t play any instruments. I do, however, have several melodies in my head at all times. If your band/you are looking for someone to help write lyrics…I’m your girl!
I am VERY open to meeting with anyone. I’m based in New York City and am open to trying everything out.
Let me know if you want to grab a coffee/glass(es) of wine/whisky neat…and I’d be more than happy to do so!
I should also say that I’m not 100% COMMITTED unless I have a good reason to be. I.E, if I feel like the band is really going somewhere and I become enthralled it in…I’m a risk taker. I don’t mind dodging the life I have now to disappear with a dream!
Looking forward to speaking with you!
