Early life

Music career

Prior to meeting Pedro Yanowitz and starting Morningwood with him, Claret says she was attending film school with an eye on directing music videos. She directed the Morningwood music video for "Take Off Your Clothes" & "Snobby Little Elf", as well as claymation video for "Little Hard On's" by The Left Rights . In 1999 Claret appeared in the short film, American Mod. She is featured on the song "Wait (The Nexus)" by Mike Relm. Morningwood played their final show at Irving Plaza in New York, on March 11, 2012.

On March 5, 2012, Vevo featured Claret's debut video "Pop Pop Bang Bang" directed by David Yarovesky for her solo EP The Pleasure Seeker, which was released on The End Records on April 3, 2012. Her debut solo record The One, The Only... was released on June 19, 2012. "Bite Your Tongue" can be heard in commercials for Degrassi: The Next Generation Season 12 Promo as well as ESPN First Take. "Honey Honey" & "Pleasure Seeker" have been featured on VH1's Mob Wives.

"Pop Pop Bang Bang" is featuring on Perez Hilton's first music compilation entitled Pop Up released on August 7.

Beginning September 29, 2012 Claret began a three-month residency at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (Las Vegas) in Las Vegas at their new music venue, Vinyl.

In March 2013 she signed to BMG as a songwriter. In August 2013 Claret wrote the theme song "I'm Serious" for Bravo's Eat, Drink, Love. In January 2015, Claret & her husband released a song "Daisy Bell" under the name of Tour Crush.

On September 10, 2014 Claret began a Pledge Campaign for her No Good Way To Die EP which was 100% funded within 24 hours.

Personal life

Claret, along with Thrice drummer Riley Breckenridge, wrote a monthly advice column called "Battle of the Sexes" in Alternative Press magazine for nearly 3 years, which was discontinued in the Winter of 2007.

On January 18, 2008 she married Jimmy Urine (James Euringer), lead singer of Mindless Self Indulgence. The couple founded a clothing company together called 'Tour Crush'. Claret featured in an episode of LA Ink to get a tattoo on her wrist reading 'Tour Crush' which Kat Von D herself tattooed.
