Clonide Telfort, aka “KLO”, born on the beautiful exotic island of Haiti, is a very talented, sultry songstress, undoubtedly influenced by traditional and popular Haitian music. Growing up listening to and emulating some of her favorite pop artists in the likes of Whitney Houston, Regina Bell, Patti LaBelle, Irene Cara, and Denise Williams, and so began her quest to become a singer/songwriter within the realms of her own ethnic culture. She eventually sang background vocals for artists such as world renowned Emeline Michel, Jacques Sauveur Jean (Jackito), Jean Claude Guillaume, Abner G, as well as ultimately sharing the stage with Haitian Pop music icons D-zine, Nu-Look, Zenglen, Carimi, T-Vice, just to name a few. In 2011, Klo produced and released EXHALE, her first solo CD album record, following up with several singles and music videos releases; she has also since shared the bill with the legendary Orchestre Septentrional, as well as headlining Zoukjam NYC in 2016 alongside Zouk genre mega stars Eric Virgal, Leila Chicot, Thierry Cham and Paôla Gabriel. In 2020, Klo and her team of acclaimed music producers put in motion the design of a new sound, in order to further showcase Klo’s virtuoso as a songstress and songwriter; the result is an eccentric cross-genre fusion of commercially written and produced music, greatly complemented by the very distinctive sound of Klo’s exotic and sultry, rhythmically slick singing. KLO is an acronym for “Kreyol Latest Obsession”, also an affectionate and intimate nickname for “Clonide”; an affectionate, erotic intimacy which infectiously transcends in KLO’s new sound and music concept.
Awe- inspiring singer, songwriter and artist… Her journey continues.
