CLARA PEYA

CLARA PEYA (Palafrugell, Girona, 1986)
With an impressive CV behind her, musically, Clara Peya is unclassifiable. Restless, visceral and transcendent, she flees from clichés and, above all, believes in the power of art as a tool for social transformation.
Clara Peya, considered one of the most prolific and transgressive pianists in Spain, is energy and feeling in its purest form. Always with the piano as the centre of gravity for composing and writing songs, she takes inspiration from the sound of artists like Samora Pinderhughes, RY X, Patrick Watson, Douglas Dare, Beady Belle, or established references such as Portishead or Björk.
Clara’s generation was very young at the beginning of the Balkans conflict and memories of that time are most probably closely associated with the war. Clara symbolises the population of Barcelona today, eager to find out what happened to Sarajevo with an open mind in order to see things in a different and modern way.
