A South African musician who loves travelling and is also a student on a budget! Not a usual musician I am a bit of a nerd and love the business and management side of it too. Basically travelling the world with music and meeting amazing people on the way! I am not the rockstar type...and food is my second love after music. If you would like to checkout my band our website is www.francesclareband.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed at major festivals around South Africa with my band! The fun part was that we did all the travelling in my small i 10 with all of our equipment and the band!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lots of South African culture that I can share and promise free cds to anyone who hosts me! I would love to learn a bit about cooking and am always hopeful that I might meet other musicians. I also love languages and am always interested in learning more! Then i would like to explore wherever I'm staying :)
