The Jersey Gaze states that, "singer/songwriter Bree Clarke will amaze you with the crystal clarity of her voice and the universal truths of her lyrics." This is true. Audiences identify with and are moved by her thought provoking lyrics. The Best of MP3.com - Alternative has called her, "an excellent pianist who really has something to say." That she does. Her songs represent a wide range of themes including sensual love songs, the fight for individuality, and the search for hope through life's tumultuous journey. Possessing the remarkable ability to switch from heart felt piano ballads to fast paced pop songs to classical arias, Bree describes her music as "a piano based pop/adult contemporary sound with a classical dimension." Although she is often compared to other female performers, her sound is definitely unique. "Her sound is her own, but she should appeal to fans of Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos," is how Listen.com has described this exceptional talent.

While Bree's songs leave a lasting impression on those who experience them, most will tell you that it is her voice that attracts them. It is a voice of dynamic range that spans both the pop and classical spectrums. Over the past several years, Bree has developed a following in New Jersey, New York City, and across North America through her web site and other internet music sites. In addition she has won several talent competitions including 1st place at the Rutgers University Talent Search in 1997 and more recently was selected as a finalist in the Original Song Competition (2003) at Nells, the classic night club in NYC. Most notably, Bree performed in 1999 at the PNC Bank Center, NJ (formerly Garden State Arts Center) and was one of several North Eastern bands to perform at the LGBT Cultural Heritage festival, host to approximately 6,000 attendees.

In 1998, Bree recorded her first CD, Bree Clarke. In 2002, she released her second album, Space in Time, with a performance at The Bitter End, NYC. The album contains a diverse mix that is driven by exceptional melodies and breathtaking vocals and concludes with a classical finale - two favorite arias by Puccini that demonstrate Clarke's extraordinary vocal ability. In 2004, Bree completed her third recording entitled Map of Our World . This EP displays her further development as a vocalist, songwriter and pianist with an assortment of her strongest performances to date.

A native Canadian, Clarke was born in Vancouver, BC. She moved to New Jersey with her family as a teenager, where she continued to nurture her love for music studying piano and classical vocal performance. It was not until 1995, while earning her BA degree at Rutgers University, that she discovered her calling as a songwriter. Today, the singer/songwriter lives and performs in New York City. She is writing new material for her next album.
