Benjamin Clementine
Benjamin Sainte-Clémentine (; born 7 December 1988) is a British composer, musician and actor.

A number of critics have described him as becoming one of the great singer-songwriters of his generation, and the future sound of London, whilst struggling to place his music in any one genre.

He often performs topless and barefoot onstage, dressed entirely in black or dark grey, with a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
