Tess Clare on SoundBetter

Professional recording artist, songwriter, top-liner, and performer. Selected for Grammy's 2024 Pride Month Playlist; chosen as the staff pick in feminist magazine, Bust; showcased by Ones to Watch, under Live Nation, to play at Music Midtown with headliners Billie Eilish and the 1975… Those are just a few accomplishments I've achieved thus far.

I'm an independent artist-writer based in LA. I began my training as a musician when I was quite young, writing and recording as early as 13-years-old, in my hometown, just north of Chicago. I graduated from the singer-songwriter program at the fine arts boarding school, Interlochen Arts Academy in Traverse City, Michigan, and then went on to Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, where I earned a degree in songwriting and music business. Since then, I've released 2 EPs, continue releasing singles every few months, and I am currently writing and recording my debut album. My two specialties are singing and songwriting. I have toplined numerous songs, as well as co-written music with a multitude of artists.
