Biography - Claire Hewitt

Claire Hewitt
Claire began her musical career as a singer when she was 16 years old. Moving around the world over the years gave her first-hand experience of the rich and wonderful gift we all have of expressing what binds us together as humans through music and our voices.

Claire HewittShe has had the privilege of singing with nomadic peoples of Kenya, indigenous Roma gypsies in the Czech Republic as well as working with Tibetan, Indian and Celtic musicians. She comes from the oral tradition of music and loves to sing songs which speak from the heart. Her solo concerts at present consist in the main of ancient Celtic airs, stories and contemporary self-penned songs inspired by the land and her life experience.

Over the past 15 years she has devoted herself to developing music and voice as a therapeutic tool through her own personal training and working with people of all ages with special needs. Alongside this has grown and blossomed her own performing career.

Living in the Heart of Scotland has enabled her to immerse herself in the rich Celtic musical heritage and to begin to express through her music the wonder it is to be (human and) alive. She has two children, two grand-daughters and is only half a century old with a wealth of experience to fire and inspire her for another half!
