Independent character, autonomous artist, Cloé du Trèfle, musician from Brussels, plays music by passion. Unclassifiable, her music is revealed by small impressionist touches.


Cloé du Trèfle will release her 6th solo album, La lueur, in April. 12 tracks that mix electronic impulses, hypnotic pianos, organic voices and textures, dancing flights, captivating bass, luminescence and poetic texts in French chiseled with sound design.


Composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, DJette when the dancefloor calls her, this contemporary one-woman-band has taken her urban poetry from London to Hong Kong, lugged her instruments across Chile and Eastern countries, spread her songs from Spain to Brazil, deposited her melancholic texts from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the Hanoi Opera House in Vietnam. During a tour in South America, she released her album Vertige horizontal with the Brazilian label Tratore. In short, this Trèfle has traveling roots.


During the lockdown she met the poetess Lisette Lombé. Together they created Brûler Danser, a poetic, rhythmic, and feminist nugget resulting from the meeting of slam and electronic music. In September 2024, at the request of Lisette Lombé, Cloé du Trèfle co-created with her the musical performance "Eunice" from Lisette's eponymous novel. The premiere will be at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Their duo will also play at the Philharmonie de Paris, at the Mucem in Marseille, at Esperanzah, at the Solidarités, at the Francofolies de Spa, at the Fêtes de la musique at the Eglise Saint Eustache in Paris or at the Cinquantenaire in Brussels... They will perform their 100th date together in 2025.



Cloé created the music for the Cultural Olympiads at the Théâtre du Rond Point in Paris where she will play with Irène Jacob, Abdellah Taïa, Jérôme Kircher, Jacques Bonnaffé...

Cloé regularly performs with Marie Darah, Belgian and European slam champion and creates the music for the show "Since you haven't shot".

In January 2025, Cloé composes and performs in duo with Penda Diouf at the Théâtre de la Ville-Sarah Bernhardt in Paris for her text "Pistes".


Tireless, while we were making brioches in confinement, Cloé du Trèfle launched her brand of recycled vinyls (which landed all the way to Dubai for the Universal Expo!) and set the music to Virginie Hocq's virtual Apéros-Gym. Cloé du Trèfle recorded and produced the first EP of actress Muriel Bersy (Les Vedettes): Erzebeth.


Cloé du Trèfle also composes for theater and cinema: the original music for the film “Juwaa” by Ngangi Mutiri or that of the documentary “De l’autre côté des mères” directed by a feminist collective, Casus Belli by Anne Levy Morelle, or the music for the credits of the Brussels’ International Women's Film Festival.


In early 2019, Cloé du Trèfle released the album "Vertige horizontal" with the Brazilian label Tratore in South America. This album is made of unpublished songs, rearrangements, added samples in Portuguese or Spanish and new sounds. This record is also closer to the current live because Cloé shares the stage with the musician Céline Chappuis, who plays the cello and electronic pad.



The words in line with her emotions, Cloé du Trèfle publishes in 2017 'Entre l’infime et l’infini', an album that revives the song format. After two disc-concepts where she observed the world through the eyes of others ('Hasards de trajectoires' and 'D’une nuit à une autre'), the Brussels singer again puts her voice on her feelings, in French or in English.


Recorded in her own studio, this record gets a foothold in the intimacy to better jump into the immensity. 'Entre l’infime et l’infini' is a quest for the absolute, a return to the light, a call for breath. Created at the crossroads of an electronic tingle and a host of ultra-organic arrangements, the songs raise various waves to the soul and release a flow of metaphors on the skin. Accompanied by the cellos of Céline Chappuis and Thècle Joussaud, Cloé du Trèfle’s ideas gain momentum.


The emotions connected to the song, Cloé du Trèfle shares a deep album: twelve pieces inhabited by the sacred fire, the will to emancipate herself ('La méprise et le mépris’), the need to appease the tension ('Do you know it's time'). Moments fused condensed under a personal pronoun, 'Nous' enchants with the complicity of Arnaud Fleurent-Didier met during a tour in China. Other distinguished guests are also present on this album: Nicole Bongo Letuppe (Karavan, Askanyi, ...) Fanny van Hammée (Faon Faon), Charlotte Maison (Sold Out), Paul Bertrand ...


In 2014 was released her concept album "D’une nuit à une autre", applauded by the press. This concept-album is about exile, and electronics, pianos, superb orchestrations arranged by Renaud Lhoest, electric guitars, voices and testimonies recorded in a documentary process are ingeniously mixed to plunge us into a fascinating sound road movie.


"Hasards de trajectoires", the previous album and 3rd album in French of Cloé won the Octave of the Best album of French song (Belgian equivalent of the Victoires de la Musique) in June 2011. This album took place in real time, around Lisa's character and a sort of pursuit race through a city and its public transport.


After a classical piano training, Cloé du Trèfle started on the electric guitar and continued her sound researches on the basis of loops created with a sampler or triturating certain sounds with her computer. Cloé can just as easily restore an old harmonium if she feels that a song would sound better on this instrument or decide to solder a cable to connect a micro piezo to her portable recorder to try to capture some unsuspected sounds ... Cloé also studied the electro acoustic for 3 years at the Conservatory of Mons.


In 2007 was released "Microclimat", the second album in French of Cloé, which won in 2008 the Coup de Coeur Award of the Academy Charles Cros. This album was recorded mainly by Cloé and mixed by Rudy Coclet. "Sapristi", the first French album of Cloé, was released in 2004 and Renaud Lhoest (Yann Tiersen, Venus ...) arranged several pieces for orchestra on this disc.


Cloé du Trèfle was invited to compose various music for movies or theater plays after her project in English Clover's Cloé and had collaborations with many artists: Daniel Hélin, L’Orchestre du Mouvement Perpétuel, Julos Beaucarne, Manza, Pôm B. Bouvier, Hands up Boys, Pitcho, Caroline Le Méhauté, l’Oblikollectif, ...


Various pieces of her albums were found on compilations of the magazine Les Inrockuptibles.
