Clara La San – Open Season 2026

Renowned for her richly personalised, effortless style of hook-rich songcraft, Clara La San is a composer, producer, and singer who has developed a resounding reputation for writing and arranging songs that feel instantly familiar and timeless, with a distinctly fresh appeal.

Whilst her music is patently steeped in a holistic listening of myriad musical strands – from early 00’s R&B to contemporary rap instrumentals – she braids her influences with inspirations from cinema scores and up-to-the-second sound design to express a singular style of soul for the 2020s and beyond. This palpable sense of classically emotive but modernist production is matched by a rare ability for realising top line vocal melodies, layered in blushing harmonies that instantly imprint on the memory.

Songwriting credits for the likes of Yves Tumor and Bicep and a recent collaboration with The Kid LAROI have proven her range and unleashed Clara La San’s confidence in a solo sound that speaks to her maturity and dare-to-differ approach to working in the music industry.

Open Season is The Tivoli Group’s annual program of music, art and cultural events, transforming Brisbane into a winter playground for live performance each year.
