CLAUDIA CAMPAGNOL I’M STRONG

Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Claudia Campagnol has released her long awaited debut album ‘I’m Strong’ with world-class musicians Jimmy Haslip, Vinnie Colaiuta, Gerard Presencer, and Eliel Lazo guest starring on selected tracks.

Claudia Campagnol’s debut album ‘I’m Strong’ features nine of her own compositions + an emotional and affectionate take on Charlie Chaplin’s beautiful classic ‘Smile’.

The lead single ‘All Through You’ and second single ‘Conquer The World’ feat. Jimmy Haslip and Vinnie Colaiuta were both selected by Apple Music’s editors for their ‘Best of The Week’ playlist covering all genres.

Claudia moves playfully around in the musical borderland between different genres – yet always with jazz as the magic focal point running all through the songs. In addition to doing all the vocal work herself, this power girl also plays keys and bass guitar – with a hell of a lot of attitude – on all tracks except one.

You can call it jazz, pop, R&B, or soul – or you can call it whatever you want…

Claudia Campagnol is one of Denmark’s young rising stars on the jazz scene – with a broad crossover appeal. Her voice is extremely powerful, yet warm and soulful. She takes inspiration from pop, soul music, and R&B, and she constantly delivers a mature performance in a distinctive jazz style, showcasing an impressive flair for improvisation and vocal arrangements.

Claudia has worked with international names like Stevie Wonder, John Blackwell, and Nils Landgren to name but a few. And A-list musicians Jimmy Haslip, Vinnie Colaiuta, Gerard Presencer, and Eliel Lazo are guest starring on her album.
