You’d expect “music” to top the list of passions of an accomplished musician. But not so with Chris Clayton. People and their stories are what inspire him.

​

“It's about investing in the artist as a person,” he says. “It truly drives everything I do.” Those relationships shine through the music, creating a lyrical and musical landscape out of intimate conversations and trust.”

​

Chris Clayton is an award-nominated Worship/CCM producer, songwriter, and mix engineer based in Franklin, TN (a suburb of Nashville, TN). He has worked on projects with a variety of independent artists and churches as well as national artists like Big Daddy Weave, Josh Baldwin (Bethel Music), Phillips, Craig, and Dean, Shane and Shane, Christine D'Clario, Kristene DiMarco (Bethel Music) and Prestonwood Worship just to name a few. As a songwriter, his songs have been featured by many artists, churches and organizations including The Belonging Co., Here Be Lions, CHURCHOUSE, Valley Creek Worship, Worship Leader Magazine, LifeWay Worship, Word Music, and Integrity Music.  “Burn Bright,” co-written and produced by Clayton, and recorded by Will Walker, was nominated for the 2018 GMA Canada Covenant Award for Pop Song of the Year.
