She began writing songs in college, and thanks to the support of WUNC and a generous producer, stumbled into a career of music.

Since living in Los Angeles, Claire has written music for theater productions (including the Actors Co-op in Hollywood, Westmark School in Encino, CA and Mississippi College in Clinton, MS), short and feature length films (including two recipients of the UCLA Directors Spotlight Award), and a ballet under the direction of David Keary.
