BIOGRAPHY
Chiara is a story-focused soprano songwriter and singer who creates emotionally resonant performances, drawing inspiration from folk, jazz, operatic and rock styles. Born in London, Chiara started writing while the city slept, filling silence with melodies.
From a powerfully resonant vocal to a gentle whisper, a progressive tune to a faster groove, Chiara draws from a range of influences with a rebellious spirit.
With songs that touch on love, loneliness, and hope, let Chiara take you to another realm...
Recent highlights include opening for: Sarah Neufeld of Arcade Fire, James Walsh of Starsailor & Ben Ottewell of Gomez, Sean Rowe, True Foxes & Steve Nieve.
Featuring at West Hampstead Arts Club, The Bedford. Also at Riverside Studios Sessions, The Lucky Pig, The Warrington Hotel, Harmonize Cafe, Clitterhouse Farm's summer and autumn festivals, Palmers Green Action Team’s seasonal market, as well as Ten To One Sessions.
Michael Chowne for Country Lowdown:
"Opening the evening was a lovely mellow set from Chiara Martina, who introduced her songs as folky numbers but I thought had more of an indie-pop feel. With a really nice voice and some very good, intricate guitar playing, Chiara, from North London, is half-Italian and sung one song half in English and half in Italian. A good half an hour or so set of original music from a young lady closer to the start of her musical journey, somebody to look out for."
