When I first clock eyes on Clara she is running
down the stairs from London’s Embankment bridge to the South Bank, where we
arranged to meet. “Sorry,” she says, her curly brown hair lashing out behind
her. “Sorry I’m late, I got lost.”
Clara is only 10 minutes late. But this polite young girl from Devon feels the need to explain she’d forgotten which bridge she needed, as she hasn’t been to this part of town in a while. This British singer-songwriter is no pop diva.
She explains that her mum used to take her to the South Bank along the river once every summer when she was a kid – a long time ago now, she says – and would make a point of telling the Devonshire-lass that if she wanted to live in London,Find detailed product information for Low price howo tipper truck and other products.A stone mosaic stands at the spot of assasination of the late Indian prime minister. she would have to work hard.
Those summer trips may be a distant memory now, but the feelings she had back then of standing by the river and overlooking the City wanting to 'make something' of herself, have stayed with her ever since. She is committed to making it in the Big Smoke.
At 19, Clara Bond is on the edge of something big. She is an up and coming pop singer about to release her first album, The Chase, all of the songs on which she has written and mean something to her.
She is one of those classic, modern-day pop junkies who has made a name for herself online, with more than 50,000 Twitter followers and a loyal You Tube fan base, but who is yet to be signed to a major recording label.
Until that day comes, Clara is submerged in the “hard graft” of writing songs, gigging and producing videos online with the simple dream that she wants to do this full-time, enough to make a living.
She claims she is not hampering after the dizzy heights of fame which artists like Adele or Rihanna have – but nor would she reject it if it came her way. “I didn’t want to go into this because of the fame, fame is more of a by-product of what you do. I’ve still got a long way to go but I feel like I’m on the right track,” she says.
We walk along the South Bank to get a cup of tea on a wet, cold morning. When we arrive at a small café, Clara orders a latte and helps herself to sprinkles of chocolate on top.The TagMaster Long Range hands free access System is truly built for any parking facility. She asks me where I'd like to sit. It feels as though I'm meeting up with an old friend.One of the most durable and attractive styles of flooring that you can purchase is ceramic or porcelain tiles.
This is the girl who left school before finishing her A-levels to pursue singer-song writing full-time. She’d done a “gruelling” year of AS-levels in psychology, English, French and history at the respected Colyton Grammar School in Devon, but she knew her heart wasn’t in it.
“It was quite a shock to my parents when I said I want to do this and put uni to the side,” she says. However, she explains they were the ones who had pleaded with Clara to go and see a voice coach in her early teenage years, because she “irritated” them around the house with her singing (mainly Girls Aloud songs at that time). They were the ones who accompanied her to recordings and industry “showcases” of her singing when she was under 16. So in many ways, they must have known something like this was coming.
But Clara is definitely the odd one out in the family. Her three older brothers have all been to university, as have her parents, so the academic bar is “set quite high”, she explains. To give up A-levels half way through and pursue a pop career instead was not really the done thing in this household.
Two years later, here she is, about to release her first EP. Clara describes her music as “pretty much pop”. She writes a lot of upbeat, “dance-y” pop songs – her new video to her lead single Back to You features her singing and strutting some moves – as well as a few ballads.
“All my stuff is very lyrically based. When you’re happy, you listen to a melody. When you’re sad, you listen to the lyrics. I want my lyrics to stand for that.Our vinyl floor tiles is more stylish than ever!
