Benjamin Clementine

Since winning the Mercury Prize for his debut album, At Least For Now, Benjamin Clementine has earned international acclaim for performances of rare intensity, combining literary lyricism, theatrical presence and striking emotional honesty.

With a piano style informed by composers such as Claude Debussy and Erik Satie, and a voice often likened to Nina Simone. His remarkable career has taken him from busking on the streets of Paris to collaborating with artists including Damon Albarn and David Byrne, while captivating audiences on some of the world’s most prestigious stages.

For his Back to Basics tour, Clementine returns to the essence of his artistry: one man, one piano, one voice. Stripped of spectacle and reduced to its purest form, this intimate performance shines a light on the extraordinary song-writing, wit and emotional depth that have made him one of contemporary music’s most distinctive artists.
