Clare Portman's BBC Music Introducing session

The Droitwich singer songwriter moved to Worcestershire a couple of years ago, after living in London for 18 years.

She now works full time in music - spending half of her time performing, half of her time teaching and the other half of her time running most of her town's open mic nights.

Clare is influenced by the likes of Alanis Morrisette, Jewel, Lady Gaga, Blondie & Adele.
