Joanna Klepko (born 25 June 1983 in Szczecin), known by her stage name Cleo, is a Polish singer. She represented Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark along with Donatan with the song "My Słowianie".[1]

Career

She is a graduate of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences.[2]

She sang in gospel choir "Soul Connection".[3] She is the winner of the first season of the Polish contest "Studio Garaż" in the category Rhythm and blues.[2] She has worked among others with Pezet, Onar, Pih, Ramona 23, WSRH, Wet Fingers and Endefis.[4]

In 2011 she took part in the first season of the Polish talent show X Factor.[5] Since 2013 she has worked with Donatan.[2]

On 25 February 2014, it was announced by TVP in the talk show Świat się kręci that Cleo together with Donatan, with their song "My Słowianie", will represent Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark.[6] They finished 14th in the final, scoring 62 points. This has caused controversy as in the tele-vote result Poland was ranked 5th, with 162 points (top marks from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway and Ukraine). However, Poland did not receive any points from the UK and Ireland despite being first in the public voting. This occurred as both the British and the Irish juries placed them last (25th). It has been widely commented by media such as The Independent, BBC News, The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Mirror.[7][8][9][10][11]

In 2015, she took part in fourth season of Taniec z Gwiazdami aired in Polsat, partnered with Jan Kliment. She was one of the favourites to win, but placed third out of eleven participants.

In December that year, Cleo signed a solo record deal with Universal Music Poland and released her first single "Zabiorę Nas" on 30 December.
