Journey
CLOZIK has established herself as an emerging voice in the Ivorian and African music scene, gaining recognition for her expressive vocal delivery and Afro‑pop sound. Her 2025 single "Na yakimi" stands as a recent milestone in her growing artistic output, released on 26 December 2025 through Orange and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment Africa FR.
Akpaouano Clovis Wilfried, known as CLOZIK, was born in Abobo, Côte d’Ivoire, and her upbringing in a musical setting led her to discover her passion for music at an early age. She began singing in her church choir as a child, which gave her vital experience in vocal performance and stage presence. Her early exposure to music in a community setting helped shape her artistic instincts and understanding of melody and expression.
CLOZIK later pursued formal music education at prominent Ivorian institutions, including the Conservatoire National de Musique de l’INSAAC and the Université Félix Houphouët‑Boigny, where she refined her technical skills and deepened her musical knowledge. She also trained at the Centre de Formation Pédagogique pour les Arts et la Culture (CFPAC), gaining valuable professional preparation for her career.
Her creative output includes work as both a solo artist and a collaborator. On the mixtape OMTS1 (La mixtape), she appears with the track Na yakimi, alongside contributions from other emerging African artists. CLOZIK has also worked as a chorist and session singer for fellow Ivorian artists, which helped build her experience in professional studio environments and broaden her industry network. She continues to develop her sound with a focus on Afropop influences and expressive vocal performances. With Na yakimi and contributions on collaborative projects, CLOZIK is steadily growing her presence within West African music and aims to reach wider audiences through future releases and performances.
