His story sounds like a fairy tale. Benjamin Clementine was homeless when he was discovered as a street musician in Paris. A record deal, chart successes and awards followed.
His sound: unagitated, melodic pop dominated by piano. His voice: outstanding. Born in London and of Ghanaian descent, his warm soul singing melts the listener and he skillfully plays around with spoken word.
His latest work "At Least for Now" is more than worth listening to, the title referring to the present is far too modest. In 2015, the 27-year-old song poet received the prestigious Mercury Prize for the best British album. Frenchman-by-choice Benjamin Clementine is the hope of the English music scene. Now he is on the road live to conquer the rest of the world with his voice and piano.
