Welcome to my website,
My name is Clover Jean and I am of Jamaican/St. Lucian descent, my nickname is CJ. I was born and bred in Shepherds Bush - London, England on the 9th May 1968. My mother language is English and my Dutch is very good. Secretarial work brought me to the Netherlands and I have been happily living life in Amsterdam since 1989.
In 1993 my world changed; I found an African dance course and realized while I went left the others were going right. They asked me if I had considered singing, of course I had it was my ambition. During Nursery and Primary school I had entertained my friends. When I got to Secondary school I did a drama class; I loved it. It seemed to be my gift. So, being in Amsterdam I acknowledged my talent and enrolled in singing, acting and comedy classes. I embraced my unique sense of humor and the ability to connect with an audience, which led to an improvisation course at Boom Chicago. Thereafter a combined presentation-cabaret production with Kunstweb and at the Crea University. In 1996 I studied music theory at the DJAM; Jazz and Light Music Institute in Amsterdam. Following that I rediscovered my passion, Black Gospel music, although I have been baptized I do not practice a religion.
As a singer-songwriter, in collaboration with Axel van Duin my dream has been fulfilled and I am now a fully fledged all-round entertainer with regular gigs.
