Clark Beckham's talent is indisputable, it’s as simple as that. Growing up just outside of Nashville, Tennessee, Clark discovered an undeniable love for music through church and later on as a street performer where his bluesy vocals could be heard through out the streets of Music City. After graduating from Lee University, the multi-instrumentalist traded in the bustling streets of downtown Nashville for the bright lights of Hollywood. In 2015, Clark received his golden ticket for Season 14 of American Idol where he captivated millions across the globe and was voted the runner-up of the season. Clark’s live performances dominated the top 10 most-viewed videos on American Idol's YouTube channel. In 2018, Clark released his Year One EP, which debuted at #6 on iTunes’ Alternative chart and #22 on Billboard’s R&B Sales chart. Since then, Clark has performed with the famous Nashville Symphony, opened up for platinum-selling recording artists Jon Bellion and Allen Stone, and was nominated for a Teen Choice Award. Clark is currently gearing up for the release of his debut album, Light Year, which infuses elements of Soul/R&B with pop melodies. The latest release from the album, “Luckiest Man,” is a lyrically beautiful, stripped down track with a deeply personal meaning. Inspired by musical icons from Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles to Marvin Gaye and Al Greene, Clark combines his love of timeless Soul/R&B music with pop sounds and melodies to create a sound uniquely his own. From growing up singing in a gospel trio to performing on the streets of Broadway all the way to an illustrious stage in Hollywood, Clark has achieved a magnitude of success thus far. However, Clark views this driving force of new, original music as a natural and upward progression in his career. With a captivating and dynamic energy, complemented by his effortless vocal range, Clark’s musical journey is just getting started.  

Today his hair is brown. Yesterday it was red on the left side and blond on the right. Two weeks ago, blue… His jacket is navy blue with pink bands painted around the cuffs and jewels bedazzling his lapel, and he wears tan and white golf shoes. His music is a lot like his style. Full of flavor and constantly evolving. This fifteen year old boy wonder can play a two hour show without repeating a song, and still have some tunes in his back pocket for an encore. His is prolific to say the least, but also, he is good. I mean really good. His lyrics are both complex and accessible. His melodies will stick in your head for days. His songwriting shows a maturity well beyond his years, and yet he performs with an honesty and naivety that at once endears him to his audience. Ace hit the Tulsa music scene this last June at the Gypsy Coffee House open mic and has seen a steadily growing and loyal fan base, packing the house to standing room only at his last two performances.
