Clara Sinou is a jazz violinist from Paris with a singular blend of musical influences. She first fell in love with the violin in Scotland, where musicians used traditional styles as a base camp for brand new sonic explorations. Back in Paris, she became fascinated by the rhythms of gypsy jazz, musette waltzes and the playing of violinist Stephane Grappelli. In 2012, she followed her passion for jazz to New Orleans, Louisiana. She studied music at the University of New Orleans while pursuing a more informal but equally instructive jazz education playing at music clubs throughout the city.

After moving to Mexico in 2020, Clara has created her own project called La Mancha Cuarteto, whose music reflects her wanderings and which has now performed in all the major jazz venues of Mexico City. The Quartet is releasing their first album in August 2023. She also currently plays and records with Sonora Propaganda, a band created by the bass player of the iconic Mexican band Maldita Vecindad, and dedicates her time to learning Son Huasteco, a violin-driven Mexican fiddle Style.
