Clayton Savage

In an effort to prove himself to his fellow band mates he produced and

performed most of the instruments on his debut cassette, simply titled

Clayton Savage. He then flew to New York and New Jersey one week after

not receiving return calls from the labels he'd sent his demos to

and eventually ended up at the legendary Sugar Hills Records in Englewood,

NJ.

Clayton moved in as studio sessionist and producer and was introduced

to the lineup, which included the Grandmaster Mele Mel of the GM Flash

Camp. Aside from writing and recording with many of the legends, including

Kool Moe Dee, Sugar Hill Gang and Sequence, it was a cut from Claytons theme.

A failed marketing attempt by Manhattan Records (partly due to the payola

scandal investigations of the late 80's) discouraged the young Savage

and he left NY for Minnesota. He performed with Westside, the area's

top band at the time, recorded an album for the group and left after 5

years to return home to Virginia.

With his own Red K Records label, CS is in full production mode, opening

the door for new acts and producing some truly enjoyable music for today's

listeners.

This hip hop, r&b veteran is underground, above the ground and on

the ground and running.
