Großartige Songs: Lebendig, Nachdenklich, gefühlvoll und sehr ehrlich! Dazu eine faszinierende, klare Stimme voller Gefühl.

INTERVIEW!
OBZ: Do they write your Songs? And do you write them about your life?
CLAY: I write all of my songs. Lyrics and music. My inspiration comes from feelings. Alot of times, yes, the feelings come directly from what is going on in my life.

OBZ: How do your Songs develop?
CLAY: I usually begin writing a song with the music first. Ill try to
come up with a catchy melodic phrase, and if I think it has the potential to go somewhere, Ill play with different ideas and see if something develops.

OBZ: Your songs encompass liberty, life experiences and deal largely with love. Do you also see life in such a way?
CLAY: Yes, when I write, I write exactly what I feel. I think that is the only way to really be believeable.

OBZ: One cannot buy your music here in Germany. Where can one get it?
CLAY: Yes, you can order a hard copy of the CD from www.cdbaby.com/jonathanclay or a digital copy from itunes.

OBZ: Do you frequently play your music live? Is important for it?
CLAY: Yes I do, and I think this is a key part of developing as a musician and a performer. A huge part of a working musicians trait is being able to perform his/her music for other people.

OBZ: With whom have you gotten the chance to work with?
CLAY: As of now, Im a solo artist, and I havnt had the chance to work with anyone. In the future, Ide love to work with a couple of different artists, and I hope that I get that chance. I think great things can come from collaboration.

OBZ: What is most important in your life?
CLAY: My health, and the health of the ones I care for. Surrounding myself with the poeple I love.

OBZ: Have you ever spent time inGermany?
CLAY: Unfortunately not. I love visiting new places, and I cant wait to play music in Germany one day.

OBZ: Would you participate in a German project?
CLAY: Of course. Im open to any and all opportunities.

OBZ: What times was your most beautiful experience with a fan? Or with some fans?
CLAY: I think one thing that has been really touching has been to hear how many people have been comforted my listening to my music while they have loved ones at war. That has really meant alot to me that I could help someone through a tough time with the music that I wrote.

OBZ: Is the contact with fans very important to you?
CLAY: Absoloutely. I couldnt do this without the amazing support from my fans. Music is meant to be shared.

OBZ: What would they like to say to your fans?
CLAY: You are the reason I do what I do. Thank you so much for helping me live my dream.
