His debut album ‘Personal Computer’ will be released on 28 August and will be augmented by a simultaneous unveiling of a series of 29 paintings of Silicon’s ‘Emoji’ icon subsequently leading to an exhibition in New York and London.

His DJ set, projected via twin tape decks bringing a generous mix of genres to the audience.
LA-based Australian singer-songwriter Cleopold crafts blunt, honest songs with confidence and sonic precision. His debut single Down In Flames is the first taste from the artist who will release his debut EP through Chet Faker’s own boutique label Detail Co this October.
