Clairo is the stage name for singer-songwriter Claire Cottrill, whose song "Pretty Girl" went viral in late 2017 on YouTube. A 19 year-old, Clairo has opened a show for rapper Tyler, the Creator and had her music featured on The Le Sigh, a blog for female and nonbinary rising musicians. A freshman at Syracuse University, Clairo plans to abandon her lo-fi bedroom pop phase and become a full-fledged pop musician with the aid of Danny L. Harle in 2018, when she plans to release a new EP.
