Alternative Singer Songwriter // Scotland.
Perhaps best known as the frontman of The Lost Generation, during his time Clerk notably played shows including Alan McGee's Death Disco and Club NME in London, had a close-call with guitar duties for Primal Scream, and made appearances as far afield as Europe and the US. Splitting from the band for the “sake of my own sanity”, Clerk returned to music in 2020 finding a devoted fanbase still intact and eager to hear him making music again.
Buoyed by an incredible reaction to a GoFundMe page Clerk set up speculatively to gauge interest amongst fans for a new solo record, the Fife songwriter hasn’t looked back. Going from strength to strength ever since, Clerk released “Thoughts of Fools” in August, an exhilarating first single that has established him as a hot tip moving into 2021. On the back of the track, Clerk was also able to pull-off an exclusive publishing deal with Wardlaw Music; placing him on a roster of world class musicians who have worked with the likes of Massive Attack, Pulp, Kylie Minogue, The Zutons, Simple Minds, U2, Jessie J, Rita Ora, Stormzy and Ed Sheeran.
Now carving out a highly promising niche as a solo artist, while exploring the darker side of the human psyche. Mikes music likes to pack a gritty alt/rock punch with lyrics unafraid to get personal. The output of a reformed character hitting new creative heights.
