Early life
Mason was born and raised in New York City. Her mother was an actress and a dancer, and her father is a playwright. She began studying ballet at the age of five, training at the School of American Ballet. An Elite Model Management scout first discovered Mason in a record store at the age of 13. Her career took off, landing her in campaigns for Revlon, Versace, and Sportmax to name a few. She attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and then transferred to the Professional Children's School because her career took up so much of her time.

Claudia Mason’s first professional booking was for Vogue. Within her first few months of modeling, she had worked with great photographers like Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber, and Patrick Demarchelier.

She starred opposite Jason Kirk in Outpatient, an independent film that received multiple awards, including Best Picture awards at Telluride Film Festival, Stony Brook Film Festival and the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. She also starred in the critically acclaimed world premiere of Two Ships Passing at the Pan Andreas Theatre (2004), for which she was named Outstanding Female Actor in a Lead Role.
