Biography

Music has been an important part of Clay's life since before he can even remember. His earliest memories of music include attending church with his Grandmother. "Granny" as she is called by all those that knew her best, sparked a love for musical expression through gospel hymns sung at church and at home. Clay remembers singing these gospel songs with his Granny and feeling a wonderful release of spirit. Sometimes he would forget the words and she encouraged him to make up his own. Clay's interest in music continued to flourish listening to the popular music his parents enjoyed. They listened to Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Don Williams, Elvis, you get the idea. Not straying far from his musical roots, Clay fuses the music of his childhood into a sound uniquely his own. His music is diverse, fresh and reflects the rich musical heritage of his native state of Texas.
