As a Portuguese-born Australian artist, Nelson's music fits somewhat obliquely within the genre of "addictive electro-pop". His lyrics are layered with hidden meanings that reveal themselves like foraging through a box of random memorabilia. After a self-resourceful year of recording and collaboration, Nelson presents you with his debut EP "6th Perception" - a collection of songs that explore an inner sense of outward reality fused with a sound that is best described as a product of "Nelson Clemente".

Nelson Clemente wrote his first song in 1996 after being given a guitar as a gift. At the tender age of 15, he found solace and release in an art that was quick to reveal a hidden talent: a natural ability to write heartfelt and haunting music.
In 2002 Nelson grasped the opportunity to collaborate with producer / composer James Tauber, forming pop duo Nelson James. This tuneful teaming helped form a fantastic foundation; not to mention an array of great 80s style pop music.
2006 saw Nelson venturing out on his own, compiling his efforts and emerging as a highly self motivated solo artist. Working with Rob Agostini (Blance DuBois, Jessi London) and Steve Scanlon (Danni Minogue, Tina Arena, Tommy Emmanuel) to produce his debut EP. His "velvet voice" has been unleashed into a fury of dark electro pop tracks that has already sparked the attention of musical collaborators and admirers worldwide.
