A holiday in London quickly turned into a permanent move, driven by her desire to engage more deeply with the British music scene that had shaped her youth.

Her successful career as a music supervisor has seen her seamlessly blend her passion for music and film, establishing herself at the top of her field.

Kle’s work in film, TV, and advertising is marked by her ability to create unforgettable soundtracks that elevate the storytelling. She has lent her expertise to notable films such as Ridley Scott's House of Gucci (2021), starring Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Jared Leto, Lady Gaga, and Adam Driver, and Operation Mincemeat (2021), featuring Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen. Her credits also include The Courier (2020), with Benedict Cumberbatch and Rachel Brosnahan, Tomb Raider (2018), starring Alicia Vikander, and the critically acclaimed Brooklyn (2015).

Her earlier work includes the beloved film An Education (2009), directed by Lone Scherfig and starring Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard.
