Hi! My name is Clay, I brand under my full name Clay Anderson Johnson. I live with my wife outside Washington, DC. My website is Prospro.co.
I am a member of the American Federation of Musicians and a BMI songwriter. I play guitars, bass, keyboards, and am a vocalist. I have played gigs for over 20 years.
I am primarily self trained but I have learned from many other musicians. I have a college education from UCLA in Music Business and Creative Industries and professional training in record production. Additionally I am a college trained fiction writer.
My musical roots run deep from Blues, Classical, Country, Jazz, Latin, R&B, and Rock. You could describe me as being open to musical and philosophical diversity. I shun boundaries in any intellectual endeavor.
I have performed in multiple genres. My longest band gig was as the lead guitarist for The Wolves in Los Angeles for 5 years. I have no interest in playing live at this time unless it is in a touring band playing mid-size venues or larger at higher than union scale.
I record in my home studio using Logic Pro. I would not call myself a tech head although I am computer literate. I owned a business building commercial websites professionally for 3 years during the early Wild West days of the Internet.
You may find Primordial, the first release from my current project, THE EVOLUTION OF MNNN, on Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, or most other online retailers. Primordial leans more toward being a cinematic track but I do write songs with music and lyrics. This one would be best classified as Latin Jazz.
I have done Graphic Arts professionally and written screenplays although I have never sold one. I have also produced mid-size live events but nothing larger than theater capacity.
My goal here is community and shared knowledge.
