'A BROKEN MIRROR REFLECTING A THOUSAND SKIES'

@Vinciane Lebrun-Verguethen

French artist working between Paris, Berlin and Florence, Clémence Léauté works under stage name of Cleo T. Trained as an actress, she graduated in Modern Literature and Art History, while developing a self-taught approach of piano and singing. Her songwriting gathers a love for Chopin and Schubert pianos and a taste for reverberated atmospheric soundscapes. Her vocal training focuses on an emotional sense of melodies and a lyrical yet powerful vocal signature.

She collaborated with several bands and played in various contemporary theater companies before starting her solo carreer.
As Cleo T. she released 2 records and performed about 200 shows including major events as The Great Escape, SXSW or Solidays. Her work always includes references to literature, poetry and visual arts. Cleo T.'s theatrical performances conceived as sound and visual rêveries have taken her to international stages.

Exploring a trans-disciplinary approach of creation, she is now working on global projects, connecting music and poetry, visual arts and scenography. She actively puts on cooperation projects with international artists, filmmakers, poets or digital artists.

After living in Berlin for a few years, she is now based in the French Southwest countryside where she set up a creative space and a production company - Moonflowers - working on mixed-media solo and collaborative projects. Independent artist and woman, she is part of the Creative Europe program Keychange working toward gender equity in the music industry.
