Connect with Clairo:
American indie luminary Clairo has spearheaded new pop conventions and upended them all the same. Her soft rock intimations, interwoven with tendrils of ‘70s soul and lush R&B, have spellbound listeners of all ages and landed her on the stages of Coachella, the Newport Folk Festival, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Born Claire Cottrill in Atlanta, GA, the artist began self-recording songs and music videos at the age of 13, which amassed a huge fanbase on YouTube. Released in 2017, her lo-fi pop confessional “Pretty Girl” went viral, earning her a joint record deal with Fader Label. She went on to unveil Immunity (2019) and Sling (2021), which were both met with critical acclaim. For each of her full-length projects, Clairo collaborated on production with legendary names like Vampire Weekend artist Rostam Batmanglij (Immunity), Jack Antonoff (Sling), and recently partnered with Leon Michels of El Michels Affair (Charm). Charm took Clairo to stratospheric new heights and earned a nomination for Best Alternative Album at the 67th annual GRAMMY Awards. After its release, Charm spent 14 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, and Clairo amassed over 7.5 billion total global artist streams. Charm also made various “Best Of Lists,” including: The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, Pitchfork, Vogue, Elle, and more.
