C’est Claire is a musician and songwriter in the desert outside of Los Angeles CA. I worked on the complete project for her second album release - Second Chance. The Art direction was focused on setting a minimal, sophisticated tone for this release.

From C’EST CLAIRE
Claire Wadsworth, a Berklee School of Music graduate, and co-owner of the highly acclaimed California restaurant, La Copine, has released her sophomore album, “Second Chance” with producer Charlie Stavish at his Yucca Valley, CA recording studio, The Clock Tower Recorder.
The band is Claire Wadsworth on vocals & piano, Charlie Stavish on guitar, Ben Alleman on synths & organ, Lucas Rinz on bass, and Aaron Ficca on drums & percussion. Second Chance features Claire’s sister, Ali Wadsworth, on backgrounds, local legends David Catching & Chris Goss, as well as a live string quartet, the Orchid Quartet.
Since moving to the desert Claire has become a prolific songwriter and recording artist using the restaurant as her “storytelling laboratory... On the surface, she’s checking reservations and greeting customers, but, behind the eyes, she’s a collector of anything she can use in her songs.” _B.Goulet for Desert Magazine.
