Claudine is a gifted singer and prolific songwriter
that has blended modern and retro elements to create music that has depth, and deals with many of life's issues, asking some tough questions. Her strong, confident voice, offers power and dynamic range, found in many of her harder hitting tracks. She also has the versatility to balance her edge with a more vulnerable approach heard in her contemplative ballads. This raw emotion is revealed in her vocal performances, and gives us a peek inside. She has surrounded herself with some strong musicians and and a talented producer in Mark Kenoly. Her music is definitely worth checking out!"

Claudine's music is honest and unapologetic.
Clearly taking from a lifetime worth of experience, she has come out with something to say. My hunch is, this is an album people are going to pay attention and relate to. Her enthusiasm and determination to make music her career leaves no doubt in my mind that she will carve out her own way to succeed in this business.

Something in the way she sings, attracts me like no other

Being a girl in rock n roll has always looked like a rough road from afar.
Even when one is able to walk over the burning hot coals, it seems as if all of the hard work gets dismissed as being mere chick music not to be taken seriously. In a pop stratosphere inundated with the likes of TAYLOR SWIFT, LADY GAGA, KE$HA and HAYLEY WILLIAMS of PARAMORE, San Francisco-based rocker CLAUDINE has a tough road ahead of her but after listening to the first few tracks of her forthcoming debut CD 'WRESTLING CONSCIOUSNESS', the road is going to be a lot smoother. With a sound that combines the sensibilities of PINK and PAT BENATAR (and a delivery not too dissimilar from BERLIN's TERRI NUNN), CLAUDINE is here to prove that good old fashioned pop rock music with lyrics that shine a light on the good, the bad and the ugly in life ain't necessarily exclusive to the boys club.

Bio
Her name, Claudine…a pop, mainstream artist, with a classic rock flare. Her poignant and powerful lyrics span the spectrum of emotions, and effortlessly reach out to touch what lies beneath. Residing just outside of her favorite “city by the bay,” San Francisco, Claudine has always had the love of music interwoven into her flesh. “It’s a part of me,” she claims, “part of who I am, what I create, and how I get through, heal, celebrate, and love." Claudine has had her hand in music most of her life, singing background, and lead in a variety of live performances, while also supporting fellow indie artists. "It's a passion that just doesn't leave you," Claudine states, "I am happy to be a part of it in any way I can, but writing and performing, are dearest to my heart!"
Claudine’s vocal performances are powered by natural talent along with life experience that she vividly brings to the stage. The talent behind her helps to further define her message. Isaac Bolivar, on lead guitar, with a memorizing touch on his strings, a young, yet seasoned talent, has toured with “taking back sunday,” a warner brother’s playing for tens of thousands of fans worldwide. She is also backed by another bay area great, Jason Wall, on drums; endorsed by both Pearl drums, and Zildjian symbols, who always takes command while seated behind his kit, playing with power, precision, and a distinct energy that is infectious. Mark Kenoly, who has been on the music scene for many years, and has a grammy nomination under his belt, not only produces Claudine’s music, but also performs bass, adding texture and depth to every piece.
Claudine will soon be releasing her debut album, “Wrestling Consciousness!” She has waited a long time to fulfill her lifelong gift of singing, song-writing, and composition, which had been put on hold for a time, because of the demands life handed down. With no regrets, and no further adieu, she will wait no longer. She is ready to put it all out there, singing of life, love, heartache, dreams, and the difficulties that lay in waiting, along that path we all walk, and are keenly familiar with. Her perseverance shines through in each heartfelt lyric and melody. She is looking forward to sharing her music with fans around the world, and as is so well phrased in a song from her upcoming album, All I Want……, “It’s like a new found innocence. For so long being resistant. Now it seems all too clear. I won’t be paralyzed by fear.”
Stay tuned, for what’s to come!
