Bio
Originally hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Clinton brings his southern Bohemian charm to everything that he does whether it’s teaching, producing, performing live, or cultivating his burgeoning solo artist career.
When not in the kitchen finalizing his world famous Gumbo and other recipes, Clinton spends the better part of his time furthering his musical career by educating others as well as playing music and contributing his skills to some of LA’s finest musicians and brands.
This multi-instrumentalist received his MFA from CAL Arts in Jazz Trumpet, and has played or contributed to the likes of The RZA, Ghostface, Rockstar Video Games, Sesame Street, ESPN, Disney, and ABS Producer favorites Bilal, and Adrian Younge to name a few.
Ever the experimentalist, Clinton keeps a diverse musical family around him which contributes to his goal of taking sounds and ideas that are traditionally steeped in Black music and fusing them with various genres, old and new, and presenting them in a modern way.
His latest solo project finds him experimenting with elements of Blues, Rock, Jazz and R&B under a voice that has a smoothness and beauty that draws you in and wraps you in its warm blanket. You can find his 2019 EP release on Spotify, and can find his latest offering, “America”, on Bandcamp.
Check out the video for a reimagining of Clinton’s lead single, “From Inside” on his recently released album, “America”.
Appropriately titled, the album finds itself released during one of the most contentious times in recent American history.
