Clémence Quélennec (born 6 March 1991, Quimper, France) is a French singer, songwriter, pianist,[1] and composer. Quélennec was primary lead singer for the French "psychedelic-rock" band La Femme approximately 10 years,[2][3] and became solo in 2019 under the stage name Aja.[4]
Clémence Quélennec's vocals have been described as "dreamy and urgent"[5] as well as "coquettish".[6]
For the band La Femme, Clémence Quélennec was discovered by the originators, via MySpace, at age 17.[7] Quélennec became part of La Femme's small group of studio and conceptual singing leads. Band manager Stéphane Le Sciellour, however, specified that Quélennec "...is La Femme's singer. She’s performing all of the live songs; she goes on tour with them. She is the singer of the band."[8]
During Clémence Quélennec's time with La Femme, band manager Marlon Magnée noted that Quélennec resembled "...a Vogue cover."[9]
