CLAIRA J

Claira J is a Melbourne-based indie singer-songwriter whose authentic storytelling and emotive vocals mark a powerful new chapter in her career. With over 15 years of experience as an actor and singer under her former name Janine Atwill, Claira J’s debut release under her new project—her raw and deeply heartfelt power ballad Letting Go—showcases her ability to connect on an intimate level. The track takes listeners on a personal journey of heartbreak, resilience, and healing, with introspective lyrics and soaring, angelic vocals that resonate long after the song ends.

Letting Go emerged from a pivotal and challenging period in Claira’s life following a triggering breakup and health crisis in 2019. This “dark night of the soul” became the catalyst for profound growth and empowerment, inspiring her to reclaim her passion for music and writing. Layered with honesty and vulnerability, Claira J’s sound is both raw and uplifting—inviting audiences into her journey of transformation and renewal through powerful, soul-stirring music.
