Renowned for her richly personalised, effortless style of hook-rich songcraft, Clara La San is a composer, producer, and singer who has developed a resounding reputation for writing and arranging songs that feel instantly familiar and timeless, with a distinctly fresh appeal. The 2023 self-release of her single ‘In This Darkness’ earned her solo sound 100s of millions of plays on streaming services, pinpointing her status among the prized songwriters of her generation. A perfectionist, the Manchester, England based singer/songwriter and producer pulled her Jam City-assisted Good Mourning mixtape – featuring ‘Let You Go’, her spare and hypnotic 2014 breakthrough – within a couple years of its 2017 release.

By the time she issued her equally heady and heartfelt debut album Made Mistakes, La San had been intermittently active for a decade, and had collaborated with the select likes of Yves Tumor, Bicep, Goron City and Bryson Tiller. Whilst her music is patently steeped in a holistic listening of myriad musical strands – from early 00’s R&B to contemporary rap instrumentals – she braids her influences with inspirations from cinema scores and up-to-the-second sound design to express a singular style of soul for the 2020s and beyond. This palpable sense of classically emotive but modernist production is matched by a rare ability for realising top line vocal melodies, layered in blushing harmonies that instantly imprint on the memory and have kept her growing and devoted fanbase, including many other artists and peers returning for more.
