The Briefing24 Helmi 2023

Claire Tonti is a teacher turned podcaster turned musician.

Why are all the good songs written for people in their twenties? Why is it, as we get older and have partners, and children, pets and parents-in-law, mortgages and muscle aches, that music stops being written about our experiences?

Claire Tonti is trying to change that. She’s a teacher turned podcaster turned musician and she’s just released her debut album Matrescence.

Eleven original tracks, stripped back acoustic folk, Claire sings about everything from birth trauma to what it means to be a woman, loss of identity and independence and the transition to motherhood.

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, Claire Tonti talks about taking risks, changing careers in mid-life and making music for the person you once were.
