From an early age, Cleo was captivated by music, beginning with bongos and piano lessons at age three. She joined her school band as a percussionist and later took drum lessons, immersing herself in a vibrant community of musicians and artists. Inspired by friends who freestyled and wrote lyrics, Cleo started writing her own, soon realizing the need to create original beats rather than relying on pre-made ones. Teaching herself music production, she built on her instrumental skills to develop her craft.

During high school, music became Cleo's outlet for overcoming personal challenges, transforming her emotions into art. After graduating in 2021, she worked as a producer in New York City, collaborating with influential industry professionals. By 2023, she relocated to Orlando, Florida, to pursue artist management and promotion while studying at Full Sail University, expanding her expertise and network.

Since spring 2024, Cleo has worked full-time with Saint Ahmad, revolutionizing his brand and boosting his social media engagement to record highs. Managing bookings, content creation, and innovative strategies, she has helped propelled his career to new heights. Cleo’s passion and adaptability make her a standout figure in artist management and promotion.
