Clydene is an accomplished performer, musician, vocalist, songwriter, and arranger. Her voice can be heard on numerous Platinum recordings by celebrated artists, including Rod Stewart, Barbra Streisand, Michael McDonald, Patti LaBelle, and more. Her vocal style and enormous talent cross over into all musical genres. Clydene is well known in the music industry as a “first-call” session singer, twice recognized with the MVP Female Vocalist Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS), and her songs have been recorded by Natalie Cole and Barbara Mandrell. Her voice can be heard on numerous national commercials and prime-time network television shows, as well as top-grossing films: Hidden Figures, Avatar, The Lion King, Creed II, Men In Black International, A Wrinkle In Time, Jurassic World and The new live-action Lion King.

Early in her career, Clydene’s debut album, “Fresh” produced by the legendary Ray Charles, gave her the opportunity to express her talents as both a singer and songwriter and was the beginning of countless hours spent in the recording studio as a singer and keyboardist. Her CD, “Sparrow” is a beautiful collection of sacred songs. Over the years it has been mostly in her group, GRAVITY 180, where she has found an outlet for her performing and songwriting. There along with group members Harold Payne, guitar/vocals, and Oliver C. Brown, percussionist, she continues to expand her talents.

Their current CD, GRAVITY 180 is produced by long time friend and writing partner, Eddie Brown and Nils, a wonderfully talented guitarist, producer, and writer/arranger. His latest CD, “Play” is currently on the Top 20 Billboard Smooth Jazz charts. Meanwhile, Clydene is touring with Nils and working with Gravity 180, and is on call on sound stages and recording studios.

Clydene’s goal is to continue to grow as a person and musician, and to share her GOD given talent to entertain, and perhaps inspire others.
