Emilie-Claire Barlow (born 6 June 1976) is a Canadian jazz singer and voice actress. Born to parents who were professional musicians, she was encouraged to sing and study several instruments including piano, cello, clarinet and violin. By age seven she had begun her career, singing television and radio commercials. Barlow's first album Sings was released in 1998. She has received three nominations for Canada's Juno Awards and was named "Female Vocalist of the Year" at the 2008 National Jazz Awards. Amongst her musical influences, Barlow has named artists Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder. The Beat Goes On is the eighth album in a recording career that now spans 12 years, and it is a record of which she is justifiably proud. “This recording is a direct reflection of where I am in my life, personally and musically. What people see and hear is really me.”
The potent combination of well-honed vocal and musical chops and a charming stage presence has earned Emilie-Claire Barlow a sizeable and loyal following worldwide.
Barlow has also provided voices for several animated television series, including Sailor Venus in Sailor Moon, Bakugan Battle Brawlers and Total Drama.
