Her Career is Blooming

Meet musician Claire Larose, an artist with a sound that’s a mix of indie, pop and folk plus a knack for relatable lyrics for the girls. “I’ll write a song for you to cry to or for you to dance to,” she says. Originally from London, a city in Ontario, Canada, she played college soccer in Tennessee before moving to Nashville to pursue her goal of breaking into the music industry. In August 2025, she relocated to the area with her husband, who is in the military, and released her first song that same month.

“Being an artist is like having your own business, so it’s important to figure out what you want to sound like,” she says. She is releasing things at her own pace so it can all have a cohesive sound. “You have to take it one day at a time because it’s not an easy career and there’s no set guidelines.”

Claire has been pleasantly surprised by the local music scene, and the amount of artists who live here and still make regular trips to Nashville to record and perform, like herself. “I think you can be an artist from anywhere, music is everywhere,” she says. Her next song, “Slowly,” about two people drifting apart, can be expected by late March.
