[edit] Biography

Clara started to discover the power of voice in the eighties, when she was singing alongside some tunes by Madonna. At a certain point it was clear to her that she wanted to join and front a band. Aged seventeen, she founded the acid jazz combo Superjuice, together with her friend Funès. In the early nineties, at the height of acid jazz, the band toured through Berlin clubs, gathering a high-profile reputation. During these years, Clara made her first steps in live music. During one of her shows, she met DJ Alex Barck from Jazzanova, who was spinning records as a support DJ. In 1998 he introduced her to the producers of Extended Spirit (2/6 of Jazzanova): Stefan Leisering and Axel Reinemer, that produced a few tracks with Clara. Relaxed and easy, a friendship started with Stefan Leisering and Clara Hill. With him, the song "No Use" was composed which later appeared on the Jazzanova album.

In the meantime Clara sang in another band: Stereoton. A band that was rooted in hip hop but played with jazz elements. A group that was fitting perfectly for Clara expanding her vocal skills to new levels. With Stereoton, a 12" on Sonar Kollektiv was recorded and eventually an enduring cooperation with Jazzanova emerged, for which Clara contributed a song for the In Between album. Looking back, working with Jazzanova, a dream became true. Besides Jazzanova, Clara Hill though also was working with Berlin based singer Georg Levin. On his hit "(I Got) Somebody New", that was remixed by Masters Of Work, her voice can be heard alongside Georg Levin.

[edit] Recording career

Her first album is an excursion into the depths of electronic soul.

On her second album All I Can Provide (2006), Clara Hill is blending a soulful voice with deep lyrics and sophisticated beats from an illustrious range of producers. The result is a personal and very mature album, full of great songs, moods and emotions.
