Clare Teal is an English jazz singer who has become famous for having signed the biggest ever recording deal by a British jazz singer (with Sony).
Teal was born and brought up in the tiny village of Shipton, North Yorkshire, and developed an interest in jazz from an early age, through her father's collection of 78rpm records. She took music lessons (first on the electronic organ, then more formally on clarinet), before going to study music at university.
After graduation, she started a career in advertising, singing in her spare time with various amateur and semi-professional bands. Her break came when she was asked to stand in for Stacey Kent at a weekend festival.
