Musician Benjamin Clementine: ‘Performing in prestigious venues and on the Paris metro is the same'

From busking in the Paris metro to winning the prestigious Mercury prize and becoming the face of French brand Givenchy, British composer and singer-songwriter Benjamin Clementine has had quite a decade. He stopped by the arts24 studio during his European tour to talk to Eve Jackson about his third album ‘And I Have Been’. He tells us about writing an album trilogy about his wife, fatherhood and the loss of his own father as well as acting in the Oscar-winning film "Dune" and Steve McQueen’s upcoming "Blitz".

Mr. Clementine is a genius

I am so happy to see him again, I love his music so much since his first album came out. It was absolutely fantastic! I lost the track of him for a while, it seems that he found the recognition he deserves in the meantime. A gorgeous, humble, extremely talented artist and lovely human being! I hope one day I will be able to listen to him live here in 🇨🇦.

Was he not the guy who played the herald in the dune movie?

[@gilndjouwou]
