Biografie
Around the time the 1990's seminal Ibiza documentary, ..A Short Film About Chilling.. was first being broadcast, a 13 year old Clara da Costa was vowing to herself that one day she too would DJ on the island she'd been visiting since she was 11. Two years later, the girl who was to become what was possibly Ibiza's most precocious ever DJ talent had run away from home and secured herself a gig in ..Es Paradis. ..
..
..Miss Bisto, .. as she was then known, soon earned the respect of Ibiza's movers and shakers as she was entrusted with the residency of the Ibiza superclub. By the age of 17 she was Es Paradis's Creative Director. This was no token or gimmicky appointment: Clara was the principle catalyst in encouraging promoters like ..Clockwork Orange .. and ..Up Yer Ronson .. to do nights at ..Es Paradis. .. These pioneers were responsible for kicking off the British promoters' invasion upon which Ibiza clubs now depend - the young Clara's drive and creativity had far more influence than even she could have imagined at the time. The slight confusion and mild amusement some experienced when they first realised such a young girl held such an influential position soon changed when they met her and witnessed her professionalism. More importantly though, it changed when they heard and saw her behind the decks.
..
In her decade at the club she played with many of the world's leading DJs, gaining their respect and friendship. This was her springboard to playing all of Ibiza's clubs and saw her DJing around the world for a number of years. Quite simply, few DJs can boast the Ibiza pedigree of ..Clara Da Costa... As the new millennium arrived, Clara had her own respected labels .. Green Turtle.. and ..Dopamine.. and was producing more and more of her own tracks, which were being championed by the likes of ..Pete Tong.. and a host of other DJs, many of whom were grateful for Clara's help with their own early careers.
..
Clara also began to specialise in playing celebrity and corporate gigs to the likes of ..David Beckham.. and alongside artists such as ..Beyonce, Eminem .. and ..Nelly. .. If the adept Clara does have a niche, then it is for these celebrity parties where the empathy she has gained from gigging for so long allows her to play exactly what these particularly demanding crowds want.
..
In 2004 Clara moved to Barcelona for 4 years, diversifying from DJing to develop her skills in A&R and as a singer/songwriter working for two of Spain's biggest record labels .. (Blanco y Negro.. and ..Vale). ..
Now back in her spiritual home of Ibiza, Clara has returned to her first love…DJing. But now it's not only clubs; in February 2009 she was signed up to be part of the ..Ibiza Global Radio ..team, an achievement she is particularly proud of as there are so many very well-respected DJs trying to become part of the increasingly popular and influential station. On her show she has interviewed.. Barbara Tucker, Duane Harden, Moby, Robin S, Shapeshifters, Crystal Waters.. and ..Copyright, ..this has led her into presenting work for ..Defected (Pacha), The Face of Ibiza (Privilege) .. and ..We Love@Space. .. She also played at Space's .. 2009 opening party.
With so many strings to her bow, where does Clara position herself?
'I love all the other stuff but first and foremost I'm simply a good house DJ. I care about people. I wanna see them dance and if they're dancing then so am I."..
