Biography

Born in East Helsinki, [1] he first gained attention with the release of his single Töis. [2] While Heponen had no previous experience in rapping, his friend who worked in the music industry suggested that they should make a song. [3] It was published in 2017 and included in his first mixtape Boboff Tape, which entered the top ten of Suomen virallinen lista. [4] The lyrics contained various inside jokes from his group of friends, slang and slapstick. [5] Impressed by the public's response to the song, several record companies and producers became interested, and Cledos signed with the record label PME Records. [6] In November 2017, Cledos released his debut EP with six songs titled Alo, which entered Spotify's top 50. [7]

In the following years, he signed a record deal with the Finnish division of Warner Music Group, on which he released his first studio album, Ceissi, topping the national charts for two consecutive weeks, staying over one year on the charts [8] and certified Platinum, with over 20,000 units sold in Finland. [9] [10] [11] The idea behind the concept album was to showcase a story with two different styles of music. [12] He also reached number one on hit parade with his single Kysymys. [13]

In 2021 he published the EP Kazama, which debuted in the top five. [14] Also his track Ring Ring, featuring William, entered the national top twenty at number 13.
