about
Marie-claire Giraud (born in Roseau, in the Commonwealth of Dominica, and raised in the Bronx, New York), more popularly known as Marie Claire or Marie-claire, is a classically-trained singer whose interests extend beyond her opera background and her Caribbean musical heritage of reggae and dancehall, into pop, hip-hop, and jazz. Jazz would probably take top billing in her second line of interests, if Giraud’s self-described major influences – Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington – are taken into account. Notwithstanding this, her accomplishments seem to rest more heavily on her commitment to blending opera with hip-hop, reggae – and jazz. If you're looking for the Argentine singer-songwriter, go to Marie Claire D'Ubaldo. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
