Clay Taylor

Clay Taylor is a genre-defying artist, whose music fuses raw emotion with bold experimentation. Since his debut, he’s carved out a space that’s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable. His first album, Speak Out, was a cultural flashpoint—an audacious blend of trap-infused pop, avant-garde production, and surreal lyricism. Propelled by breakout tracks "NPC" and "Chi Chi Box Erasure", the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, amassed over 250 million streams worldwide, and became a critical topic across digital culture. Speak Out established Clay not just as an artist, but as a force—earning six Grammy nominations, including Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Music Video for "NPC."
His sophomore project, Forever Me, marked a radical evolution—trading maximalism for minimalism with lo-fi R&B textures, jazz progressions, and confessional lyricism. With standout singles like "Gainesville" , the album earned widespread critical acclaim, garnering eight Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, Best R&B Album, and Song of the Year for "Gainesville."
Now, Clay steps into The Salvation Era, a spiritual and sonic rebirth through his gospel-inspired EP Salvation, rolled out through his Sinless Sundays campaign. Each Sunday in June unveils a new track centered on grace, inner reckoning, and divine release, further expanding the emotional palette of his discography.
