Clark James started playing drums at the age of four. By age seven he was performing live for the first time playing drums at his grade school Christmas play.
When Clark turned fourteen he was playing every weekend in a 50's/60's band with his father Gene, who was the bass player in the band. Clark and his father continued playing every weekend together for the next three years.
At age seventeen Clark was out of school and on the road fulltime with a Country band. By eighteen he was on tour over in Korea, followed up with a gig on Carnival Cruise Lines sailing around the Caribbean at nineteen years of age. Clark proceeded to tour nonstop around the US over the next five years playing Country, Rock and Pop music in venues like... Billy Bobs Texas, Grizzley Rose in Denver, Las Vegas Casinos and countless clubs and coporate parties around the US.
At twenty-four, he settled down in Nashville, TN and focused on the local scene. He started to run sound at a local rehearsal hall called, S.I.R. (Studio Instrument Rentals). Clark continued running sound and drumming for several local bands in the Nashville area for the next three years.
When Clark turned twenty-seven he started working with country artist Steve Azar as a montior engineer and sub-drummer. Clark toured with Steve supporting the hit song "I Don't Have To Be Me Till Monday", for two years.
Clark quit Steve to get back to his career in drumming. He joined a Motown/R&B band playing shows on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. At twenty-nine years old, Clark was back in the drum seat and back in the Caribbean.
After sailing around the US for three years, Clark switched from floating hotels to five star hotels when he joined UK's Pop/R&B group, Too3K. He spent the next twelve months touring Asia with Too3K playing places like Bangkok and Singapore.
Now in his thirties, Clark has settled back into Nashville and is staying busy touring and recording.
Clark's next step with his drums and music is easy...
"To continue making a good living, playing good music, with good people."
