Clara Zornado
b. 1995, Middletown, CT
they/them/theirs

Clara is a musician, writer, facilitator of trust, and lover of horses. They perform original music as Lady Queen Paradise, but also enjoy making music with their friends and colleagues. They are based in the Pacific Northwest and have toured extensively, performing their music in many living rooms, bars, basements, stages, and greenhouses across the country.

Clara is devoted to creating space for extraordinary acts of metamorphosis, withdrawing from the world and expanding into the universe as needed. They are comfortable floating in and out of the public-facing role of performer and into quieter, more private states of being to experience embodied revelation. This shapeshifting feels right because there is a relationship between all things. Their music is not separate from their work with horses, much like how the tree by the river is not separate from the river.
