Singer-songwriter and drummer Eleonora Claps was born in Milano, Italy. She started playing drums in her teenage years, and was soon joining pop and rock bands on the city’s scene, recording in studio and performing live on stages across the country and abroad.

In 2007, she moved to London and was inspired to take on new challenges – studying jazz singing amongst them. Joining open mics around town was her first approach to performing as a singer. Having built a repertoire, including her own original material, she started gigging in London and across the country.

Her first album “Stars” (including originals as well as jazzy arrangements of pop tunes by Prefab Sprout, Cyndi Lauper, and Simply Red amongst others) was released in 2015, garnering support on UK press and radios. 

Her second album “10pm” (March 2024) is a collection of 10 original songs, featuring Eleonora as a singer and drummer, with John Crawford on piano and Andy Hamill on bass. A reflection on the speed and challenges of modern life, infused with nostalgia and memories of the past, the songs on Eleonora’s new album are a fitting continuation of a journey started with her debut album.
