Artist in Profile Guadeloupean Klara Exotic Beauty & Voice
Klara’s exotic beauty and sunshine-like personality are rooted from her native Guadeloupe origins.
From a very young age,
Klara showed a strong passion and natural flare for stage performance and
music.
At age 6 she would participate in fashion shows in
Guadeloupe during her summer holiday. Her love for dancing emanates from
her plush cultural background with a refined finesse achieved by practicing
ballet from age 6 to 18. Klara also studied music, proving her originality
by learning to play the Traverse Flute. Click
