Claire Vandiver was born in Nashville, Tennessee and raised by parents who were both musicians. Now living in Central Florida, Claire has spent the past decade honing her craft as a musician and songwriter. She’s previously released one EP and several singles recorded by multi-platinum producers ZK Productions in Atlanta, finding her own unique sound along the way.
Claire’s voice is equal parts angelic and electrifying; soft and welcoming one second to, edgy and commanding the next. Blending a wide array of influences ranging from indie rock, to modern pop, she has crafted a unique sound that is truly fresh. While most of the world was languishing in lockdown during the pandemic, Claire spent the past year co-producing and recording her latest batch of songs with NYC based composer/sound designer, Keller McDivitt. Wall-of-sound guitars, hard-hitting bass, spacey synthesizers, and thunderous drums provide the backdrop for Claire’s soaring vocals on her latest upcoming EP, “…Even When it Hurts.” Here, Claire sings songs about passionate relationships, mental-health and codependency, and all the spontaneity and complexities of an ephemeral youth.
Claire can be seen performing regularly as an acoustic duo with her father, guitarist Chip Vandiver, and soon, with a full backing band as she prepares to hit the road in support of her new and upcoming music
