Clemens van de Ven - piano, vocals

Clemens van de Ven (1950) plays his music the same way he lives and loves life…straightforward and passionately. His talent is as unique as his career.
He is a completely self-taught musician, who started playing the piano at the age of seven.

He studied philosophy at the university of Nijmegen and after his graduation, he packed his bag and finally became what he really wanted to be…a music-minded travelmaniac! Clemens has seen every corner of the world and absorbed all the different influences and impressions. His songs reveal all these different cultures, but the backbone of his music is still straightforward Rhythm ‘n Blues. He turns every night into “Such a Night”, one of the key songs on his repertoire.. His powerful pianobeat and his charismatic vocals have turned many a gig into a party, with Clemens giving the audience all he’s got. Because that’s the essence of his playing….all the way and straight from the heart!
