The set of photos above are screen-grabs from our recent Zoom session with Clara Kent. We selected these pictures to illustrate the undeniable exuberance; the dazzling charm; the radiance; the effervescent beauty of this exceptional chanteuse from Pittsburgh. Of course, mere photos cannot convey her irrepressible spirit. As you listen to our conversation, you may consider the photos to be an added bonus! The self-described “Multidimensional Artistic Individual” talks openly about her heritage; her influences and women in music with unbridled enthusiasm. Although, Clara makes it clear, life has not always been easy, but she is determined to venture forward with a refreshingly positive attitude. Her music is uniquely her own and she insists Clara Kent is not about to be slotted into a neat, safe genre, as you’ll hear from The Four Winds: East, the first in a series of four EPs. About the first EP she says, “Part 1 of 4, a series dedicated to the healing power of the Medicine Wheel, changing seasons of life, and my personal experiences as an Afro-Indigenous woman. Join me on the journey of the Red Road”. Clara Kent knows who she is and what she believes in, she expresses herself in her art, and for that we should be grateful.
