Biografie
·Cleido is a proudly Angolan Afro-House DJ based in London. He was born and raised in South Africa, and he has a deep desire to champion the sounds of African dance music. Cleido fuses an eclectic mix of Afro-house with deep house, downtempo and melodic techno to cater to audiences with diverse musical tastes.
Cleido describes the trending shift to Afro-Beats, Afro-House, and their related subgenres as an "inevitable occurrence". Every day, as listeners become more aware and receptive to the sounds of Africa, the London-based DJ doesn't just want to spectate, but instead play an active part in propelling the African musical culture forward within Europe.
Coming from a musically fuelled background, where he was introduced to African Disco music by his father at a very young age, it comes as no surprise that the young, London-based DJ, saw no better way to represent where he comes from, than through the diverse styles of music from his motherland. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Afro-House legends and prominent DJs: DJ Black Coffee, Themba and Sef Kombo and following their careers closely, Cleido has seen, first-hand, the importance of representing parts of one's culture throughout the African diaspora and foreign lands.
Through each vibrant set delivered by Cleido, the crowd is exposed to numerous unique sounds from various regions in Africa, with not one region taking precedence over another. The London-based DJ revels not only in the fusion of sounds from different areas of the continent, but also in introducing his crowds to new, atypical sounds, keeping them on their feet well into the night.
At just 22 years old, Cleido is not your average DJ. Not only is he well-versed in the craft of visual arts, but he also holds a bachelor's degree in Economics under his belt. In addition to this, Cleido manages the upcoming, London-based artist Deano Died, whilst simultaneously pursuing a master's degree in Marketing and Innovation at City, University of London.
His current DJ residencies include the vibrant London restaurant/bars, Bisushima and Experimental Cocktail Club, his own Afro-House/Melodic Techno event Reunion (Midway Group) and London's edgy hipster event, Moody Hifi. It's fair to say that the anticipated impact that Cleido will have on the rich sounds of African music in London and in Europe is a space in music that should not be overlooked.
