Claire Tonna, a well-established name in Malta’s music scene, is celebrated for her powerhouse of a contralto voice and evocative songwriting. Now, she’s set to expand her musical reach with an upcoming EP produced by Grammy-winning Jon John Robinson, whose legendary collaborations include icons like Diana Ross, Pink, TLC, and Lady Gaga.

Expressing her excitement for the project, Claire revealed that recording will begin next month at Arcadia Music Studios in Dallas, Texas. In a recent social media post, she shared, "These songs encapsulate the strength and resilience that have fuelled and held me through my human journey, and I’m so thrilled to share these powerful narratives with the world."

Renowned for her electrifying performances across Malta, both as a solo artist and in collaborations, Claire’s work includes notable projects like ‘O.,’ a dance-theatre production inspired by Maltese poet Oliver Friggieri. In this, she performed alongside Jamie Cardona and the acclaimed dance troupe The MVMT.

She has also gained recognition on the international stage, winning the title of 'Best European Singer/Songwriter' in 2019, an honour awarded by the Tour Music Fest in collaboration with Sony Italy and the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA.

Wishing Claire the best of luck with this incredible opportunity!
