BIO
“Claire Anne Taylor is a rare kind of singer. Her extraordinary voice comes from some deep elemental place and audiences can’t help but be touched by it.” – Sista Mary, Bay FM Byron Bay
“With husky sounds reminiscent of the deep south and swelling rhythms. Devil is a song that pours wickedness into a shot glass, and slams it down like a punch in the gut.” - Christie Ots, Blank Magazine.
Claire Anne Taylor grew up in Tasmania's ancient Tarkine rainforest, where she was born into her father's hands in the family barn amongst her five siblings. Taylor's music reflects the wild, rich and creative world she was immersed in as a child. She has a uniquely powerful voice that stirs the deepest emotions, opens the heart and starts a wildfire inside.
Taylor crafts soulful folk songs that take audiences on a journey of raw honesty. Her music ranges from warm, mesmerising ballads to epic anthems. Taylor’s stage presence is powerfully captivating and her live shows leave the audience in no doubt that they have just witnessed something extraordinary.
