Artist

Benjamin Clementine is an English musician, multi-instrumentalist, poet, artist and singer-songwriter born and raised in London. He later moved to Paris, France where he became homeless in his teenage years and started to busk on the streets of Paris. His performances made him a cult figure in the music and art scene. His music is part of the art pop, contemporary classical and experimental pop genres. His debut album ‘At Least for Now’ was released in 2015 and earned Clementine the Mercury Prize. It contained some of his most popular songs such as ‘Condolence’, ‘Nemesis’, ‘London’, ‘Adios’ and ‘Cornerstone’. His sophomore album ‘I Tell a Fly’ experimented with more instrumentation than his debut, introducing the harpsichord and various avant-garde elements. This album contained some more fan-favourite songs like ‘Phantom of Aleppoville’, ‘Jupiter’, ‘Quintessence’, ‘Ave Dreamer’ and ‘One Awkward Fish’.
