British-born singer-songwriter Claudia Valentina makes a powerful return to the global music scene with the release of her new single Candy. At just 24 years old, she brings a fresh and dynamic sound that blends pop, R&B, and electronic influences into an energetic anthem celebrating confidence, individuality, and empowerment.
Claudia’s journey to this moment has been shaped by determination and creativity. Raised on the quiet island of Guernsey, she immersed herself in ballet and drama from a young age. By 10, she had already landed a role in Billy Elliot the Musical in London. Later, she moved with her mother to Los Angeles, chasing the Hollywood dream. Years of auditions, rejections, and studio work forged the resilient and self-assured artist she is today, as noted by The Face magazine.
Before stepping into the spotlight with her music, Claudia made waves behind the scenes as a songwriter. She co-wrote tracks for global superstars, including BLACKPINK’s Jump and Jennie’s Mantra. Working with renowned producers such as Johan Carlsson, Lostboy, and Tom Mann, Claudia developed a sound that combines infectious pop hooks with raw emotional honesty.
Why 'Candy' stands out
Candy is more than a catchy pop track; it represents Claudia’s bold artistic vision and fearless self-expression. The song features polished production, rich harmonies, and her confident vocals, delivering themes of empowerment, identity, and independence. Claudia describes her music as something people can both feel intimately and experience cinematically, aiming to create songs that are “music that people make babies to” (MYP Magazine).(MYP Magazine).
A Visual Spectacle
The official Candy music video is a vivid expression of Claudia’s creative vision. Blending vintage Americana style with a modern edge, she leads an all-female cast through striking choreography and cinematic scenes. Full Access Magazine highlights that this concept was six years in the making, reflecting Claudia’s commitment to meticulous storytelling.
Rooted in authenticity
Influenced by her travels between Guernsey, London, and Los Angeles, Claudia’s style is a unique blend of diverse inspirations. Growing up without a local music scene, she sought creativity from the world around her, crafting a sound that mirrors her international experiences.
“I’ve spent a big part of my life hunting the right setup with my team, and I’m lucky to call them my best friends as well,” she shares with MYP Magazine.
Her image combines “Chanel” glamour with “Supergirl” boss energy, a deliberate choice reflecting her desire to make every project as grand as possible. This philosophy shines through in both Candy’s sound and visuals, according to The Face.
Poised for global success
With catchy hooks and relatable themes, Candy is set to resonate with audiences worldwide. Claudia’s successful songwriting background in both Western pop and K-pop markets positions her uniquely for crossover appeal. Her bold aesthetic ensures she stands out in today’s crowded music landscape.
Looking ahead
Candy is now streaming on Spotify and available on YouTube, marking the beginning of Claudia's new chapter. She promises more singles, collaborations, and visually ambitious projects in the coming months as she climbs tow
