Chiara Kilchling & Caravel

Chiara Kilchling, a German musician with Hungarian roots, performs with the rock band Caravel at The Attic in Leeds, a venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.

Chiara Kilchling grew up in Freiburg, where a childhood on piano from the age of four was followed by the guitar at eleven. Singing began in the children's choir of the opera in Freiburg, but rock soon took over, with Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, Fleetwood Mac and Metallica among the early influences. As a teenager, Chiara played in cover bands and performed street music with a sister and friends.

From the age of eighteen, Chiara posted cover videos on YouTube, singing and playing several instruments, and built a channel with more than 70,000 subscribers. Studies at the Popakademie in Mannheim began in 2021, during which Chiara founded the rock band Caravel. The group writes and releases original music inspired by those early idols. Chiara also works as a session musician.

On stage, Chiara performs professionally with concert series such as Rock the Opera, which has toured with Joe Lynn Turner and Ian Paice, alongside other productions, cover line-ups and Caravel. The Attic, at 3 Sheaf Street in Leeds, mainly hosts concerts with a focus on pop, rock and indie music.
