First song you learned to play: A classical piece, first pop song was probably, “Let it Be.”

Artist you’d most like to be on stage with: Bonnie Raitt

Things you are juggling: Promoting my new record, self-titled, Clara Lofaro, finding a place to live, day job as a paralegal, writing for signed artists and for TV/Film placement opportunities, seeing my family in Canada as often as I can

Biggest challenge about being an independent musician: Trying to balance personal life and music life because it’s a lifestyle, not just a job.
