UK Influencer CC Clarke is a Musician Too

Essex girl CC Clarke says that music has always been in her blood. Nowadays, she might balance music and her “other” career as a beauty influencer, but she started out in musical theater. At college, she was writing her own lyrics and ad-libbing during productions, and that’s when she realized that she was born to play herself.

“I started songwriting from quite young,” she told us during a Zoom interview. “Poetry from the age of ten and then it soon turned into songs by the age of 13 or 14. By the age of 17, I had my first manager and was in the studio, had a taste for that. It’s never stopped since. I’m in my late 20’s now, and it’s something that I’ll never stop pursuing. I’m so grateful, the different, unexpected twists along the way. I was a very deep child, writing about all of the problems in the world. Why was there suffering and injustice? My mum was like, ‘where on earth does she get this from?’ She definitely didn’t expect me to be writing about all of that, that’s for sure.”
