Clara Moto

Autumn 2006. Melbourne. Clara was selected to attend the Red Bull Music Academy, a platform for up-and-coming talents, invited over the course of a few weeks to perfect their studio technique and meet professionals. The Academy organizes tours for its best students, who get to perform at major European festivals on a dedicated stage. Which takes us back to where our story began: Geneva Airport. The Montreux Jazz Festival. Chance encounter in Terminal 3. An enthusiastic young French DJ tells her all about the label he has just set up together with a few friends, his first protégés Francesco Tristano and Danton Eeprom and his desire to develop and nurture young talent. Agoria is his name, and Infiné the label. Fast forward to Autumn 2007. Infiné releases Clara Moto's Glove Affair, a firm-handed, delicious minimal house cut. One year later, and it's with the release of Silently, a light and fluffy tune featuring a killer chorus that Clara, with the help of Mimu on vocals, reveals a strong penchant for pop. As 2010 dawns and her first album is released, Clara provides ample proof of her allegiance to electronic music. Her affection for the genre comes in many forms, each imbued with her unique brand of femininity, and she embraces it in all its diversity and spontaneity.
