Claudia Bettinaglio

Claudia Bettinaglio sings rock, r & b, blues, jazz and the like. Her singing voice is full and round and drenched in blues feeling. Hearing her sing one does not imagine easily that she is indeed a young woman from Switzerland with an Italian family background. Claudia Bettinaglio is a new and very exciting voice from the heart of Europe. A short look back into this singer's personal history: despite her father's fascination for bel canto singing, the attractive young lady decides to get singing lessons only at the late age of 25. But she soon attracts the attention of Swiss blues cracks and Lazy Poker stalwarts Cla Nett and Stephan Pulver. They decide to throw Claudia into the deep end at one of their gigs at the Blue Monday club in Freiburg, Germany. She delivers what is expected and the audience's enthusiastic reaction amazes Nett & Co. Practically overnight, Claudia Bettinaglio becomes the lead singer of Switzerland's most popular electric blues combo. She stays until late 1997. What follows is a period of transition with contributions to a number of projects featuring Swiss artists like Dänu Siegrist, Martin Graf/Boutflower or Giorgio Libera. http://www.bettinaglio.ch Read more on Last.fm.
