CLEO
Classic Swing, Mainstream, New Orleans Music
CLEO is one of Europe's most exciting young jazz voices—an artist who blends blues, swing, pop, and soul with naturalness, depth, and unaffected presence. Her voice combines velvety warmth with the subtle spiciness of Louisiana hot sauce—a blend that touches and electrifies in equal measure.
Born in Hamburg, but musically influenced by the cradle of jazz: New Orleans. As a teenager, Cleo spent a few months in the southern metropolis, absorbing the city's sounds and discovering her love for music that blends history, emotion, and groove. This experience continues to shape her style today—authentic, warm, and passionate.
Her path led her to the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre, where she studied jazz singing. But even before graduating, she caused a stir: She was the first European singer to open the renowned New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and performed at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg with the State Youth Jazz Orchestra.
CLEO plays with Jan Luley in a duo or with the Jan Luley Band.
