Claire Cottrill, known professionally as Clairo, is an American singer-songwriter from Carlisle, Massachusetts.
Her fame escalated after releasing "Pretty Girl" (2017), a lo-fi-produced song that attracted millions of views on YouTube. She credited her sudden popularity to the website's algorithm system.
On May 25, 2018, Fader Label released Clairo's debut record, titled Diary 001. In her review for Pitchfork, Fader contributor Sasha Geffen wrote that the EP ought to subside the "legions of naysayers who dismissed her as a one-hit fluke or an industry plant." By then, "Pretty Girl" had amassed more than 15 million views on YouTube.
That same month, she announced a headlining tour throughout North America, opening for
Dua Lipa on multiple dates. Her July performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York was a sold-out show. In October 2018, she performed at Lollapalooza. She was scheduled to perform at Coachella 2019.
