Claire Underwood Guitar - jazz pop singer songwriter Brighton UK

About

I’m a singer-songwriter creating sentimental, heartfelt songs with a bittersweet edge.

Rooted in jazz and classic pop influences, my music blends emotional honesty with warmth and humour, delivered with a playful, quirky spirit.

I’m currently studying an MA in Songwriting, building on a long creative career in animation, where I directed children’s TV series and received a BAFTA award. That background still shapes my songwriting through a love of storytelling, character and emotional nuance.

Alongside my solo work, I regularly perform gigs across Sussex, playing in several bands. I love the way live music brings human connection in these uncertain modern times.

Debut Single Coming Soon!

Find My Way Home is about knowing where you belong but struggling to get there. It’s about stumbling in the shadows of your old fears, and learning to trust yourself while a good life patiently waits for your return.

Recorded at Homeward Studios in Hove, featuring…

  • Lisa Guile - saxophone

  • Phil Naylor - drums

  • Steve Sandiford - double bass.
