Paper Citizen is led by LA-based, Singapore born, singer-songwriter, violinist, guitarist, and music producer, Claire Gohst. Self-proclaimed “Indie-rock for a lost soul in a new world,” Paper Citizen blends crisp vocals with lyrical intimacy, spacious guitars, and organic rhythms for a sound that defies conventions.
At 17, Gohst was kicked out of her home when her strict, religious family found out she was queer. In an effort to find her own path, she dove into the Singaporean live music scene. After half a decade of honing her skills playing violin, and singing in bars, clubs, and restaurants, she realized she needed to grow to develop her musicality. With the opportunity of a scholarship and the promise of a new beginning, she moved to Boston to study jazz violin and recording arts at Berklee College of Music, an endeavor that sparked a love for songwriting, music production, and the palette of electric guitar. In pursuit of healing, with influences from spiritual, rock, alternative and electronic music, Paper Citizen was born.
Following a move to Los Angeles in 2019, Paper Citizen has been laying roots in the local music and queer scene playing dozens of shows across Southern California. On the horizon is their debut alternative rock album, combining both analog and digital recording technology and inspired from their favorite artists, such as Grimes, The Beatles, Metric, and Queens of The Stone Age.
