Claudia, the Passionate Pianist, was born in Argentina, where she has lived until 2002, when she married an american man, who brought her to live in the U.S.A., first in the Tampa Bay area (Florida), and now in Pittsburgh area (Pennsylvania).

She was nourished with the passion that only the Argentinian Tango can transmit, and extended such a passion to perform to her whole repertory, which covers almost all the musical genres.

Claudia started studying in the Conservatory at the age of 6 years old, and graduated with the highest honors at the age of 13 years old as Superior Professor of Piano. She performed for the first time at 7 years old at a Concert for advanced students in her native city in Argentina.

During her childhood she performed numerous times in presentations sponsored by the Conservatory, as well as in the celebrations of her primary School. Also during High school she was the one who was called to play the patriotic songs needed for special occasions.

She graduated as a Certified Public Accountant, worked as bank manager and as a University Professor of Economic Sciences. While this was her "day job", she always had her "Professional Hobby" of playing the piano in private parties, corporate events and friend's celebrations.

Her close relations with the business world opened her to opportunities to meet people who hired her as a background solo pianist for their events.

Over the time she exchanged definitively her former "hobby" of a solo pianist to be her career, making Economic Sciences as her hobby during her spare time.
