        Claire Wylder: An Emerging New Voice

      Every Sunday evening, prior to the main show at the Levitt in Pasadena, the Grassy Hill Side Stage hosts an open mic where emerging talents can showcase their music.

      Claire WylderMonrovia-based singer-songwriter Claire Wylder caught my attention with her strong lyric content and well-developed piano skills. Claire told me a bit about herself and her plans:

      I grew up around music, and I started writing music when I was eleven… I am still trying to learn as much about writing as I can before I commit myself to something so large [as making a CD].

      Starting this fall, I will be studying music industry at the University of Miami. I chose that major because I want to get a 360 degree feel for the music industry…It’s a business, and I really want to get a good grip on that so that I can further myself as a musician.”

      We wish Claire much success in Miami!

      Check out Claire Wylder music here.
