ABOUT
Clara Montocchio is an Austrian singer-songwriter with South African roots. Her deeply metaphorical writing is steeped in personal history, telling stories of connection and yearning (in English and her mother tongue Afrikaans). With a voice that oscillates between warm earthy tones and iridescent clarity, her instantly recognisable sound is characterised by a multitude of musical influences, including folk-pop, jazz and traditional music from across Europe and South Africa. Together with guitarist Andi Tausch and bassist Gregor Aufmesser she weaves landscapes filled with poetry and emotionally charged improvisation. Her debut solo album My Vreemde Kind („My Strange Child“ in Afrikaans) is set to be released summer 2024.
