Osmani Soundz is a British Asian Electronic music producer / DJ who began his career in 1988 back then known as Osmani Knights Soundz.
It all started for him in the basements, community halls and youth clubs of the east end of London. Growing up surrounded by the culture of 'sound systems' he began perfecting his craft, working with his crew of DJs, Dancers, MCs and Graffiti artists. These early influences paved the way for the creation of a truly innovative and unique sound, leading to a residency at Talvin Singh's legendary Anokha Club Sessions at the Blue Note in Hoxton, London in the mid-'90s.
A perfect home!

Born in Paris from a Greek family, Clio inherited much love for the arts, for ancient cultures, and oriental melodies. She started studying harp at the age of seven in Paris, and developed a fluid technique on this instrument.   Later, as she was in her final course of classical harp studies at the Conservatoire Jean Phillippe Rameau in Paris, she discovered improvisation, thanks to her teacher, well-known harpist Helene Breschand. The urge to improvise took her away from Western classical music, and oriented her towards contemporary improvised music, free jazz, and traditional folk music. 

The search for her own style on the harp drove her towards music of oral traditions. She studied seven years with Talip Ozkan, master of the Turkish saz, and derived much inspiration from his artistry. In a quest to understand music of all societies, Clio completed her Masters Degree in Ethnomusicology from Sorbonne Paris 4. Clio’s musical journey took a remarkable turn when she started interacting with  musicians of India. The richness of improvisation and jumping rhythms fascinated her, and reminded her of traditional Greek and Turkish genres. Clio spent two years in the India, where she developed an understanding of Indian melodic and rhythmic systems. She studied dhrupad music from the master vocalist Uday Bhawalkar, in order to amalgamate the dhrupad style with her compositional ideas on the harp.  

Clio has played for theater ( ‘Theatre du Peuple’ of Bussang and at the ‘Festival de l’Imaginaire’ in Paris). She has also played for several world music festivals in Europe, on solo harp, and with the world music band Srishtii that she created with sitar player Hindol Deb. She played for Jazz flutist Magic Malik in Paris, and recently, with the Raghu Dixit Project. In India, she has performed extensively, notably at the Fireflies Festival and at several French Cultural Centers. She has also toured with Srishtii for Suvarna Karnataka, and recorded for the Indian composer AR Rahman in Madras. 

 After 25 years of playing the harp, Clio has developed a style and sound in her compositions and improvisations which sublimates the classical harp. In the confluence of free jazz, classical contemporary music and oriental music, she incorporate all her influences a unique musical language. She plays on an Camac electric Celtic harp, and a Budin Pandora pedal harp, but always prefers to play on her Lyon and Healy concert harp, which is a challenge to transport around the world.  Clio plays solo harp, in duet with a percussion instrument or drum-set, and is enthusiastic about combining her music with any other traditional instruments
