Chloé Herry[1] (born 12 August 1992),[2][3] known professionally as CloZee, is a French musician, DJ, and record producer. She is celebrated for her blend of UK bass, glitch, dubstep, trap, and world music influences.

Early life and education

Chloé was born in Paris, France. At age 11 her family moved to Toulouse, France when her father took a job with Airbus. She developed an interest in the classical guitar and her parents enrolled her in classical-guitar lessons. After high school, she signed up for a two-year audio-engineering program and learned how to use FL Studio, posting tracks she created via SoundCloud.[4]

Career

CloZee's musical journey began with an exploration of glitch hop and UK bass, where she honed her skills and developed a distinctive style characterized by intricate melodies, complex rhythms, and a fusion of global sounds. Her early self-released work caught the attention of electronic music enthusiasts and record labels, alike—especially Gravitas Records. In 2012 she released her first official EP on Gravitas, Dubious, as well as the Poetic Assassin EP shortly thereafter.

In 2018, CloZee released her debut album, Evasion, which marked a significant milestone in her career. The album showcased her ability to seamlessly blend diverse elements, creating a sonic tapestry that captivated listeners worldwide. Tracks like "Spiral" and Red Forest exemplify the fusion of electronic beats with world music influences, establishing CloZee as a mainstay in the experimental bass and world bass scenes.

CloZee continued to evolve her sound with the release of her second album, Neon Jungle, in 2020. The album further solidified her reputation as an innovative artist, exploring new sonic landscapes and pushing the boundaries of electronic music. Neon Jungle demonstrated CloZee's growth as a producer, with tracks like Us and Winter Is Coming showcasing her mastery of intricate soundscapes, and four collaborative tracks showing her versatility as an electronic music artist.

In 2023, CloZee released her latest album, Microworlds, a testament to her ongoing artistic evolution. The album is about all the many subworlds that we inhabit. It delves into quieter territories with tracks like Courage and Contemplation while maintaining the signature elements that define CloZee's music with dancefloor-rattling tunes like Antares and Visions. This album truly showcases her ability to create immersive and otherworldly sonic experiences.

CloZinger project and Odyzey Records

CloZee's collaborative project with fellow artist Scarfinger, known as CloZinger, further highlights her versatility. The duo explores a fusion of glitchy beats and world music, creating a unique synergy that has resonated with fans. CloZinger's releases, such as Ovation and Forest Echo showcase a seamless blend of both artists' creative energies.

In addition to her solo endeavors, CloZee founded Odyzey Records in 2020, a record label dedicated to promoting boundary-pushing electronic music. The label serves as a platform for emerging artists to showcase their talent and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of experimental bass music.
