Rachel Claudio aka CLAUDIO is a European-based Perth-born artist/ composer/singer/producer, best known for her work in real-time music production – after her video interpretation of the track ‘Hey Ya’ surpassed 2 millions views, using music technology to create and perform entirely orchestrated songs live and in real time.
Much of her childhood was spent at a piano transcribing British pop and Italian operas and her adolescence was largely influenced by soul, gospel and hip hop. In 2006 she moved to Paris, France, where she began a relationship with both the French language and the world of electronic music that would ultimately see her touring as an artist in her own right, viewing her own art as an endless experiment in finding the delicate balance between control and instinct.
Claudio is a freelance lecturer in Creativity at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts; a composer/arranger/songwriter for major labels; and composer for film and TV scores.
