Clea Anaïs’ compositions center on a multifaceted artistic sensibility, and an emotional intelligence as sharp as bright-coloured crystal. Raised in Canada by a Mauritian dancer and British painter, Clea is a multi-ethnic artist, creating shimmer-pop dreamscapes. 2022 saw the release of Clea’s debut album, “Circle Zero” recalling the inimitable vocals of Lana del Rey, grounded in the nostalgic groove and lush pop stylings of Beach House or Japanese Breakfast. Accolades include the single “Stars Still Dying” winning Best Music Video Cinematography at the Canadian and European Cinematography Awards, landing in CBC Radio 3’s top 10 playlist, and the album reaching #1 on the CJSW (Calgary) charts. To support “Circle Zero”, in 2022 Clea toured Canada, Japan, and Finland, and performed at Tallinn Music Week in Estonia, The Calgary Folk Music Festival, Sled Island, Alberta Days, and Big Winter Classic.
