Biography

Solo singer/Songwriter Clayton Jones is the featured voice on over 9 million Spotify streams and a recent winner of the St. Louis Sound Competition (2019). Clayton draws from a rich musical influence of Pop, Rock, and R&B, and is most recognized for his timeless vocals and relatable songwriting. Forced to take up the guitar at the age of 12, he soon discovered an infectious love for singing, songwriting, and live performance. His passion inevitably sparked a move to Nashville, TN where he spent several years maturing his craft, eventually returning to his hometown of St. Louis, MO where he continues to work as a full-time musician. Before re-launching as a solo artist in early 2017, Clayton spent 7 years as lead singer of former duo The Madison Letter, where he shared the stage with and opened for several A-list artists including The Script, Jon Bellion, and Fifth Harmony.  Over the course of his career, he’s performed in 30 states across the US as well as internationally in the UK and Africa. His latest full-length album “Beyond the Fences” was released in November 2018 after his Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded with the help of his fans.  From the unashamed testimony of “Ringleader”, to the vulnerable cry of “Odd Man Out”, which alone as accumulated over 700,000 Spotify streams, Clayton gives listeners a closer glimpse into his life through every song, digging past the surface level into the heart of the human experience.
