Chiara Savasta is a singer-songwriter from Montreal. Born in the suburbs of the city, onto a generation burdened by anxiety and disillusion, Chiara would sit in her room and romanticize her life through songwriting. This way of escaping her teenage life became the foundation of her first project, Summerhood. Released in 2022, Summerhood is Chiara’s own take on the coming-of-age experience, as she herself stumbles into adulthood. The bedroom-pop EP was saluted locally by outlets such as Cult MTL and ICI Musique, and internationally by the likes of Earmilk and Wonderland. The latter lauded : Savasta has knocked it out of the park with her very first body of work, and if this project is anything to go by – she’s definitely one to watch. The young artist signed to Montreal boutique-label Cult Nation over the summer of 2023 and then quickly with the Feldman Agency, for booking across Canada.

In the fall of 2024, Chiara presented her new EP, brand new girl, brand new machine. Written in her early twenties, these songs capture the full palette of intense emotions that inevitably transpire through these formative years – the laughs, the doubts, the hurt and the growth. This new chapter reveals a more grounded and mature soul, gradually finding her footing in the world. It’s through these ups and downs, always chasing the next dream, that Chiara became a brand new girl, like a brand new machine.
