1. Claire, you’re a multitalented artist, excelling in music, modeling, acting, and more. How do you manage to balance all these creative pursuits?
Thank you! I do my best to do manage them but it is hard! Music is my main focus, so that does help me pick what to prioritize somewhat, but I change things around as different projects come in or ideas come to life. I guess I try to use my calendar pretty extensively and budget out time for different things during the week so I can hopefully accomplish what I want 🙂 I am still figuring out some of the in’s and out’s, though!
2. As a singer-songwriter, what’s your process for writing music? Where do you draw inspiration from?
I get a lot of inspiration during random moments of the day, but especially when spending time outside, like hiking! I draw a lot of inspiration from my own life and all the different emotions and things that come up.
Usually I just try to sit down and write a song in one sitting, if I decide I want to go through with it, after I have the initial idea and inspiration. Sometimes I work on co-writes with others.
3. Can you tell us about the first song you ever wrote and how it felt to express yourself through music for the first time?
Yes. I think I wrote a funny, silly song when I was about 7, and I showed it to some other people at our school that liked it. It was fun to get positive feedback on that and even have people sing it back to me. I definitely liked the feeling of making songs and exploring different concepts through music.
4. You play multiple instruments. Which instrument do you feel most connected to, and how does it shape your sound?
I probably feel most connected to the guitar right now, since I play that the most! I think it definitely adds such a nice rich rhythm and dynamic to songs. It feels very organic and connected to the heart. I also play piano (and some bass), and I love piano, but it doesn’t have the same organic feeling to me that a guitar does.
5. Your music crosses genres. How do you approach blending different styles, and how has your sound evolved over time?
I like to try to incorporate songwriting, lyrics, and production from different genres- sometimes I will write a song that aligns maybe more with 1 genre to me, then figure out how I can add elements and instrumentation that bring in other genre(s) and layers. I have a lot of unreleased instrumental music too, that is mainly pop and electronic. I have done a lot of folk music, but I would like to explore much more with hip hop, world, and dance music! They all speak to me in different ways. I have become more interested in country as well.
I definitely want to have more songs people can dance to. I have been focusing more on studio versions of songs in future releases, but I will probably keep releasing the kinds of acoustic songs I am somewhat known for as well.
6. What challenges have you faced as a singer-songwriter, and how have you overcome them while staying true to your artistic vision?
I was really frustrated when a certain fairly well-known, celebrity-frequented music venue at the time, where I had been playing frequently, which I eventually found out was associated with so many varied problematic behaviors, banned me after I reported to them that I had received anti-Semitic texts from a patron there.
I shared about this on social media, and did not necessarily receive the kind of public outpouring of support that I would have hoped for at the time from those who lived there. I did decide to then move and spend most of my time in Los Angeles at the time; a place where that kind of apparent discrimination has been much less of an issue for me.
I have always tried to stay true to having integrity as an artist (expressing myself in a heartfelt way, being true to my beliefs, etc). I don’t currently sing about things that are not for me, like drinking since I don’t drink, and I would be hesitant to do so. I also try to have songs that would not be disempowering to women especially- some modern music can be in my opinion problematic for women and many others. For me personally, I try to be honest about my experience in a way that others can relate to, and true to what I believe in talking about and giving power to as an artist.
7. In today’s music industry, social media plays a huge role. How do you use platforms to connect with your audience and promote your work?
I use Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok to promote my work. It is still something of a process of trial and error, to find out what works on social media and what doesn’t. It helped that I had a fairly engaged and interested audience on Facebook and Instagram before I started releasing music! I do lots of silly stories on Facebook and Instagram, which seem to get a positive response, and I guess are part of my comedy brand as well. I also try to talk about the inspiration for my songs, and give people a sense of where I am coming from with them. I try to put a lot of intention behind anything I publish, and I try to make sure it is not boring in my opinion or overly commonplace.
8. Performing live is a big part of being a musician. Can you share one of your most memorable performances and what made it stand out?
Performing at the Viper Room in LA for the first time was very fun for me! I also did an a capella performance of one song that I think went unexpectedly well. That space is really fun, historic, and intimate, and tends to have such exciting vibes from so many amazing artists and talents constantly coming through there. It was also one of my first shows as a solo artist, so that was exciting.
9. You’re also involved in acting and filmmaking. How do these creative outlets influence your music, if at all?
I think I like to explore similar concepts and themes in filmmaking as in music. And when I work on scripts and things, that process can bring forth new ideas for my music as well! Acting definitely helps me become a better performer as well, I believe. It is helpful to explore various concepts and writing through the lens of acting, and bring that then to my songwriting.
10. You’ve modeled alongside your other talents. How do you express your unique identity through fashion and modeling, and how does it differ from your musical expression?
I am obsessed with fashion and clothes. I love expressing myself through fashion and modeling. Modeling is a bit different, because you can express yourself through acting as a model in front of the camera, but you often don’t have a say in the wardrobe and so forth.
I think to me, fashion and music are pretty intertwined. I usually wear clothing that either complements or contrasts with the music I play, to add greater emotional effect to the performance, and deliver a richer experience for the audience! I love to dress up all the time. I don’t know that these things differ. It can certainly sometimes feel easier to more fully express yourself how you want through music, without having to necessarily buy things like you would with fashion, given the inexpensiveness and accessibility of music production these days. Cool fashion is getting much more accessible too, however.
I definitely have a range of genre(s) I like in music, and a range of fashion styles I like. Coming up, I would like to probably explore more dark theme(s) in music, and sometimes I wear darker, goth fashion sometimes to support that. Other times, I like to dress pretty feminine, with shiny outfits, that can be attention-grabbing and feel very true to being a performer, or of course wear clothes with a twist on the cowgirl concept.
It is very fun to wear fashion that contrasts with the music you play as well!
11. As a comedian and actress, humor is a big part of your personality. How do you balance comedy with the deeper, more emotional aspects of your music and art?
I think they can all be related. Sometimes you can have emotional pieces that are funny, or comedic pieces that can be a bit dark and/or emotional. I don’t know that I see them as separate. I do like to find and explore the humor in difficult things sometimes. There can be humor in many dark subjects! I also use comedy and jokes to deal with my emotions. I think for me, I try to bring lightheartedness and humor to much of what I do, even if there are more emotional themes sometimes.
12. Filmmaking is another one of your passions. Do you have any plans to direct or produce your own music videos or other projects in the near future?
Yes, I do! I have worked on and developed some different music video concepts in the future. I am grateful to have had a bunch of people interested in shooting for me. Music videos can be very fun to shoot (I have also acted in some for others). Right now I have mainly been sticking to short-form content for my songs. I would like music videos to strike the right chord for my songs. Maybe when I have my next releases out, I will try to focus on this more.
13. Art in all forms plays a role in your life. How does visual art complement your musical and acting careers? Do you ever combine these mediums?
I used to be much more involved with visual art. I would like to maybe incorporate cooler visual themes and background artwork in my performances. It hasn’t happened yet, unfortunately. I may or may not have a few surprise ideas to combine these mediums as well! I do like making album art that adds a greater depth to my songs I believe, and I still do some freelance design work from time to time.
14. As someone who works in multiple industries, from music to modeling, what advice would you give to other young creatives who want to explore multiple talents?
I don’t know! I am still figuring out what works best for me. I would say that it’s best to be clear with people about what you are doing and maybe what your main focus is. It’s best to make sure they are not left confused, if possible. Also, maybe don’t be afraid to try different things either and see what you are best suited for. It’s always fun to explore new avenues and see where your strengths and interests lie.
15. Looking back at your career, what’s one piece of advice you wish you had received earlier in your journey?
I am not sure! I know people were encouraging me to play out and spend more time in Nashville, rather than the smaller town I lived in earlier this year, when I had started releasing music under this artist name. I did receive that advice fairly early but I wish I had followed it more! It was partially too convenient to stay near where I was and play there, which I think led to fewer opportunities than I would have had if I had followed that advice.
16. In a constantly evolving entertainment industry, how do you stay adaptable and continue to grow in each of your creative fields?
I try to keep a pulse on what is going on in the industry; what the new developments are; and what new projects are coming out! There is definitely a lot that is shifting all the time. Some of the things I have been exposed to are really blowing my mind. I try to understand how others stay creative and accomplish things, and use those tools as well in my work.
17. Collaboration is key in many creative industries. Can you tell us about any collaborations you’ve done and how they’ve shaped your work?
Yes, I have done some different collaborations that I have really enjoyed. I collaborated with Mike Silvestri on a Christmas song that I really enjoyed writing with him. It was fun to bring our shared vision to life! Writing with others has definitely given me a different lens on my songwriting, helping me see things in new ways, and grow as a creative.
18. What’s a personal experience or challenge that has had a major impacton your music or any other form of your artistic expression?
Going through depression, and mental health struggles, have definitely impacted my artistic expression. I am trying to work on more songs that discuss those things and express the feelings behind them. Even though I love many happy and dancey songs, I find myself drawn back to darker material, and it feels healing to process those emotions through making art… maybe expect more dark material from me coming up. It is also important to me that people going through those things have songs they can relate to in that angle.
19. What’s the most difficult part of being a multi-hyphenate artist (singer, actor, filmmaker, etc.)? How do you navigate these challenges?
I think it is generally best to focus on one thing. Music is my main focus, but I love a lot of creative fields and sometimes money flows more in one field than another as well. I don’t know that I navigate these challenges perfectly (not that anyone does), but I try my best to put my main focus on my next steps in my music career, while attending to existing and upcoming projects in other areas. I think seeking input and support from others helps with this.
20. As someone involved in so many creative fields, what’s your ultimate goal? Is there one area you’d like to focus on more in the future?
Yes! My music is my main priority. I am working on new music releases and would love for them to really blow up and be able to tour internationally, be able to work with incredible artists and brands, and develop a great fan base all over the world. I would like to have a number of amazing songs in different genres that really inspire people.
21. Music is constantly changing, and so is the way we consume it. How do you see the future of the music industry, and what role do you want to play in It?
I see the music industry becoming more accountable, as it has struggled with that in the past I believe. I see it potentially becoming more competitive, with more people able to release and promote good music with social media and lots of free or inexpensive production tools at their disposal…
I would like to build an empire, ideally! I would love to have a really great production company someday that puts out a lot of different creative projets, and maybe develop artists like me … I would like to ideally make things better for a lot of people- for example, as far as artists and people in entertainment having access to safe and professional working environments (and resources for that), getting paid better from streaming, etc. I think there are a lot of opportunities to improve things for artists and others across the board and I look forward to seeing positive changes in the future, which I already advocate for.
I also want to be a good role model for people, whether they are artists or not. I try to be a good person, live a healthy lifestyle and spread positivity on social media, and take accountability for things if necessary.
22. For those who are just discovering you now, what’s one song or project that you think best represents who you are as an artist?
Great question! It’s hard to say. I really like the acoustic tracks I did, which I am probably the best known for / those are my most popular songs so far. “Partner in Crime” is nice because it has more instrumentation etc on it and a fuller sound- so probably that one. It is a fun play on country themes, and I like the lyrics a lot, which I think show my sense of humor to some extent, and love of wordplay!
23. Finally, what’s next for Claire Eisel? Do you have any upcoming projects—whether in music, acting, comedy, or filmmaking—that you’re excited to share with us?
Let’s see. I have some different things at various stages of progress at the moment that I can share about. I am always working on new music, improving my comedy show, acting and modeling in various shoots, and may be coming out with a short film soon! There are some scripts in development and I have been working with some filmmakers. I also may be signing with a record label soon- we shall see.
