"There are a lot of great singers in this world but not all are gifted with a voice that is at once captivating and yet familiar all in the same breath. Clementine has that kind of voice. The kind of voice that pulls you in like a friend sharing a secret and at the same time gently compelling you to listen to her interpret the lyrics of whatever song she’s singing. In my professional experience, I’ve just described the difference between a good singer and the kind of voice that makes a star, there’s an intangible “it” that separates the two, you’ve either got that special “it” or you don’t and Clementine’s got it. With her new collection of songs on “Letting Go,” and her stunning vocal delivery, Clementine has got all the makings of a star."

Biography

Folksinger & Songwriter Clementine grew up as a Captain's daughter in The Netherlands. When her father came home after his long travels, sometimes up to a year, her mother's chansons were replaced for his Irish favorite music. 

The music became her lifeline with her father being away at sea. When she sings folk music now it feels like coming home and being connected. 

Water, nature, and freedom were fundamentals to her as she grew up mostly on the water. 

Clementine prefers singing in English but made an exception for the Dutch song 'Na de Hoos' (After the storm) written by friend Guus Westdorp. Originally written for the flood in New Orleans after Katrina for a benefit concert Guus had organized.

End 2017 she recorded her 2nd album: ‘Letting Go’ in Omnisound Studio, Nashville. Under the guidance of producer and multi-platinum songwriter Wyatt Easterling. This album was released in Jan ‘19. 

In ‘18 and ‘19 she toured, internationally, to support this album. 

Spring ’19 she became one of the finalists of the New Folk songwriting competition at Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas with ‘Lost Child’ and ‘That’s Freedom’. 

Spring ‘19 her new song ’Als Je Wist’ was born. Clementine performed her new work as intermezzo while national writer Jan Siebelink was interviewed in the theatre during the National BookWeek. 

In summer she toured Italy with Italian singer/songwriter Alberto Napolitano on Open Air stages, Arena, or even on the water. For crowds between 300 to 15.000 people. Alberto is an heir of the Genua School of songwriters. Also inspired by the French school like Jacques Brel.
