CLEIDO is more than a DJ—he’s an artist whose work demands attention. The South African-born Angolan creative has firmly established himself in the electronic music scene, both in London and globally, with standout performances at KOKO & Fabric in London, BRET & Parallel in Amsterdam, and KODA in Nairobi. 

His debut single, Hard to Love with Dillan Desai, is a bold and self-assured record—an undeniable showcase of his raw talent and relentless creative energy. Hard to Love gained support from key industry figures such as Caiiro, Fiona Kraft, Bun Xapa & Manu Naykene. But this is just the beginning—a mere drop in the ocean of what’s to come for this young artist.

Beyond the decks, CLEIDO’s influence is shaping the industry and African electronic music world. As Creative Director and A&R of Sondela Recordings, he has played a key role in refining the label’s global identity since its departure from Defected Records. Meanwhile, his work with Reunion London has helped
transform the city’s Afro-Melodic landscape.

With a sharp ear for innovation and a foresight for what listeners crave before they even realize it, CLEIDO is building more than a career—he’s crafting a movement. Backed by a co-sign on BBC from KILIMANJARO, having performed alongside and organized events for crowds of thousands with artists like, Major League DJz, DJEFF, one thing is clear: CLEIDO is here to stay.
