Ousseynou Cissé (CLARENS)

CLARENS is the musical alias of French musician and producer Ousseynou Cissé (born August 5, 1992). Born in Dakar (Senegal) and raised in France, he got into electronic music after arriving in Rennes to follow his studies at University. His music began to draw attention with the release of a few remixes for local pop bands circa 2012. After months of work and the help of producers Jean Sylvain Le Gouic and Pierre-Alexandre Busson aka Yuksek, the first CLARENS EP is to be released on french label Partyfine in march 2014. Drawing influences from American artists such as Blood Orange, Kindness or Clams Casino, CLARENS' music is willing to introduce a new kind of bedroom pop to the french electronic scene.
