About Clay

I started playing piano at seven years old in Anchorage, Alaska, beginning my journey on a classical path. I became interested in jazz during my later years of high school, moving to Monmouth, Oregon after graduation to pursue a degree in Music Performance at Western Oregon University.

Midway through my college career I became extremely disillusioned with music and college, dropping out of school for two years to re-evaluate my path and direction. In 2023 I came back to Western Oregon and finished my degree, focusing on composition, song-writing, production, and branching out into guitar, drum-set, vocals, and bass.

I approach music and piano with focus on combining solid craftsmanship with heart and conviction.
