GRANDESSIMO
In a world that feels too big, too fast, too loud, Grandessimo is a bittersweet cry from a generation searching for meaning. Driven by a flamboyant folk-pop production with hints of dramatic melancholy, the song follows a protagonist caught between the megalomania of dreams and the harshness of reality. It's the tale of an ego swelling as the heart cracks, of an artist climbing the ladder of illusionary success while losing touch with the ground.
Between fantasized grandeur and existential dizziness, Grandessimo plays like a miniature opera—a charged confession where one dances on doubts in a sparkling gown. Charley Klein explores the duality of burning ambition and quiet fragility in a performance as theatrical as it is sincere.

and editor
The notion of light plays a fundamental role in my work. Influenced by cinema, music and architecture, I am a freelance videographer who graduated from the Vevey School of Photography.
Based in Switzerland, I seek to convey a graphic and polished visual aesthetic while preserving the emotion of the moment.
Having lived in London for four years, I had the opportunity to collaborate on multiple projects in photography and video. Back in my native land, I continue to develop a singular creative vision punctuated by exchanges and collective work.
In 2021 I co-founded HEEY! a digital production and post-production agency.
