Cleo Reed: Dancer in New York

About Cleo Reed

Cleo Reed is a New York City–based artist working across rock/pop and hip-hop/R&B, with performances that have included sets at Public Records. She has shared bills with drummer and music director Savannah Harris, Brandon Woody’s Ministry of Brass, and the English electronic musician Cosmo, including Harris’s DUAL series. Reed’s writing leans on groove and direct vocal phrasing, moving between sung melody and rap cadence without overarranging the frame. Her performances favor clarity over spectacle.
