Bio. The Canadian-born singer/songwriter Clara Lofaro is an eclectic performer whose music embraces pop, rock, R&B, jazz, and any number of stops in between. Born and raised in Toronto, Lofaro took up music at the age of 12, and soon displayed a prodigious talent as a singer and piano player. Eager to hone her skills, Lofaro was accepted at Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music and has since released four albums in her professional career. Her newest, self-titled album was released in Fall 2010 and features pop single and YouTube hit Just Smile, which is being featured in a national commercial campaign. The album was produced by Anthony Resta (Collective Soul, Shawn Mullins, Duran Duran), Robert Smith (Lady Gaga, U2, David Bowie, Billy Joel) and Harold Stephan. In addition, Lofaro has performed alongside notable artists across the board including Stevie Nicks, Edwin McCain, Kimberly Locke, and Jeffrey Gaines.

CLo says she awakened a new songwriting voice from within on this album by telling other people's stories, both imagined and real. She's also been able to express her heritage and love of languages by sprinkling some of her native italian throughout the album. CLo not only has a strong, soulful voice but her vocals atop an eclectic poppy album gives listeners an honest feeling of positivity and happiness. She loves life and music with the cracks and all, saying “it's more interesting that way.”

Lofaro was heard by her largest audience ever when she sang “When You Wish Upon a Star” for tens of millions of people in 2006 and 2007 in the Disney Super Bowl commercials featuring MVP players of the NFL teams.

Lofaro took over as producer for her second album, 2005's Black + Blue Pearl, and the album picked up radio airplay on New York's WLIR and college stations throughout the Northeast, while 106 VIC radio in Ithaca, NY, named Lofaro's tune "One True Thing" the Song of the Year for 2006.

In the fall of 2006, Lofaro and her band took part in Toronto's Indie Week, a competition to find the city's best unsigned talent, and walked off with top honors, beating out over 300 other acts to win a distribution deal with the Canadian branch of Universal Music.

Lofaro’s last album, Perfekt World, won six Toronto Music Awards and she partnered with Action against hunger, an international humanitarian organization who’s mission is to eliminate malnutrition as a disease around the world. Perfekt World was produced by Mark Turrigiano, (Ingrid Michaelson’s, Boys and Girls).

CLo currently lives in Brooklyn, NY where many artists pile up to write songs with her. She has been at the legendary Avatar Studios (formerly Power Station) producing for the past year and her song I Can’t Go On, written with Edgard Jaude has been picked up by ABC to be featured the future network shows.
