Clara Benin, the Philippines' indie darling, is known for her angelic voice and introspective songwriting. She has collaborated with artists across Southeast Asia and beyond, including Charlie Lim, Gentle Bones, and Lowswimmer.
​
Clara has performed at major festivals, including the Philippines' Wanderland Arts and Music Festival, Singapore's Music Matters, South Korea's Zandari Festa, and Taiwan's LUCfest.
​
In 2023, Clara captivated audiences with a sold-out concert for her sophomore album *befriending my tears*. She followed this with a sold-out Metro Manila and provincial album tour, showcasing the growing demand for her music. Up next, she will perform at SXSW Sydney this October, continuing her rise on the international stage.
"Benin is choosing to remember. Her body of work is a love letter to our experiences and the parallel universe that they store. “There are so many possibilities that can happen. And I love the uncertainty of life in that sense, right? I feel like I’m always going to be writing about it. I’m always going to wonder about the what ifs of life. It’s beautiful.” For Benin, nostalgia is a visitor that is most welcome."
