(New Exclusive Interview) CLE’PH Talks Music With Imperial Hustle Magazine | @rnbcleph

I have been creating music since High school. My very first song I ever wrote was called TAKE IT SLOW, I took me 3 class periods but It got done. Since then, Been writing and composing ever since.

I would say my style is like a little bit of Neyo, Joe and Anthony Hamilton. That’s what people tell anyways. I grew up in the 90s era, So the whole story telling element like artist Donell Jones really plays a huge part in my Music.

So the song HEY MISS BEAUTIFUL became to be when I had lost management after having a bad show. I didn’t or wasnt sure if I  would get back into music again. Came across the producer LEGACY BEATS page, Heard the instrumental and it stick to me. Almost like it picked me. Crazy. I reached out. Wrote the song and the rest is history

My name CLE’PH comes from, well music. I had the name already But didnt know if i wanted to use it came of the whole wyclef jean thing. So my friend said to me why not use the name But change the spelling and put P H at the end. So I did. I added the apostrophe a few years later to jazz it up. Worked out great.

What makes me different from other artist in the industry is the whole story telling aspect. Not alot of stories being told about LOVE or everything things. Even when it comes to romance. No body wants to be in love. Me on the other hand, I wanna make it cool to be in love. That’s what stands out
