CLEO — Platform-Ready Artist Bio
CLEO is London-based and Lagos-raised, her alt-R&B pulsing with fluid vocals and fearless energy. Her debut EP, Don’t Let It Go, landed in 2022 as an independent release that draws you in with confessions set to unpredictable rhythms.
Her sound lives between worlds: R&B, Afrobeats, and pop, grounded in a voice both rich and intentional. CLEO weaves Yoruba percussion through synth textures, building tracks that move with the shape of her experience. You’ll hear echoes of Solange, Burna Boy, and James Blake, but always something unmistakably her own.

On stage, that energy is electric. Now working on her next project with acclaimed Nigerian producer Dapo Sade, she blends Afro-futurist synths and live percussion. It’s music that asks what it means to belong here, there, and everywhere.
