Claudia Vau

Claudia Vau is a London-based actress, singer and songwriter. She started to write, compose and sing her own songs for a cause: to give voice to voiceless women, young girls, children and men from all around the world. Her first single, "Make Your Voice Sound" is a theme-song which expresses the mission of an international network that promotes Women's Rights and Gender Equality (VOWW - Voices of Women Worldwide). As a playback theatre performer, Claudia Vau became accustomed to the improvisational enactment of true stories through Theatre and Music. With this background, her singing cannot be set aside from expressive interpretation and movement, for she feels she must embody Music in order to genuinely create and perform it. Working with musicians and composers such as Doio Kaosos, Nanu Figueiredo (Mola Dudle) and Alvaro M. Rocha in her songs for VOWW contributed to her World Music jam esthetics, where Claudia’s vibrant contralto voice reaches out to you from inspiring musical environments that combine electric and acoustic instruments, ranging from classical to ethnical, such as the Portuguese guitar and the Chinese violin (Erhu).
