Electrik Cake 011 — Let Your Body Flow | Tech House, Acid & Funk Show: Electrik Cake with Coco Street The Valiant Queen Artist: Coco Street Air Date: 19 September 2026 Genre: House / Tech House / Acid House / Funky House Genre: Tech House / House / Acid House / Tribal House / Funk Electrik Cake with Coco Street returns to Data Transmission Radio with two hours of house, tech house, acid, tribal rhythm and funk built to move. The session opens with DJ Oji & Coco Street's “Let Your Body Flow” before heading straight into Joshwa, Loco Dice, Green Velvet & Detlef, Matroda & San Pacho, Benny Benassi & Dualite, Teddy Douglas & Mason Maynard, Low Steppa, Wongo and more. There's swing here. Heat. Acid lines. Latin percussion. Funk in the low end. Records that lean forward and records that know exactly when to let the groove breathe. Coco Street's second appearance comes with Eddie Amador on “Never Too Late” in the DJ IDeaL Remix, landing inside a second hour that keeps opening outward through Jewel Kid, Jitwam, Jude & Frank, ZARO, Maxdal, Alien Radio and Santos. The through-line is movement. House music when it stretches. Tech house when it gets loose. Acid when it bites. Percussion when the body takes over. No flattening the mix into one lane. No pretending the edges between styles are where the interesting part ends. Electrik Cake is underground electronic music with a point of view. Hosted and curated by Coco Street, broadcasting on Data Transmission Radio. Listen deeply.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with acclaimed percussionist Joby Burgess for a fascinating conversation about life as one of the world's most in-demand recording musicians. From film scores and orchestral performances to contemporary classical music and solo projects, Joby shares what it really means to build a career grounded in versatility, collaboration, and an endless curiosity about sound.We talk about the unique challenges of being a modern percussionist, where every project might require a completely different set of instruments, techniques, and musical vocabulary. Joby explains how he prepares for sessions, why he thinks of collections of percussion instruments as a single musical voice, and how years of experience have taught him to focus on melody, phrasing, and storytelling rather than simply striking objects.Our conversation also explores the creative process behind recording major film scores, including his work with Ludwig Göransson on The Odyssey. Joby offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how composers, producers, engineers, and percussionists collaborate to discover sounds that often don't yet exist. From bringing collections of gongs into the studio to improvising solutions with whatever objects are nearby, every recording session becomes an exercise in creative problem-solving.Along the way, we revisit the music that shaped Joby's artistic path, including Stravinsky, Frank Zappa, Edgard Varèse, and contemporary composers such as Steve Reich and Morton Feldman. It's a conversation about listening deeply, embracing collaboration, and discovering that a great percussionist is often as much a musical problem solver as a performer.Key TakeawaysJoby explains how modern percussionists constantly shift between instruments while maintaining a single musical voice.We discuss the similarities between performing contemporary classical music and recording major Hollywood film scores.Joby shares how collaboration with composers often begins long before recording, helping shape the palette of sounds available for a project.He offers behind-the-scenes insight into recording The Odyssey with Ludwig Göransson and the creative process of finding the perfect percussion sounds.We explore the influence of Frank Zappa, Stravinsky, Edgard Varèse, Steve Reich, and other composers on Joby's musical development.Joby reflects on why experience, adaptability, and problem-solving have become some of the most valuable skills in his career.We discuss the importance of learning from master musicians and why observing great players can be as valuable as formal instruction.Music from the EpisodePsappha (Iannis Xenakis) - Joby Burgess, percussionThe King of Denmark (Morton Feldman) - Joby Burgess, percussionTroy, from The Odyssey (Ludwig Göransson) - Joby Burgess, percussionConcerto for Bass Drum and Orchestra (Gabriel Prokofiev) - Joby Burgess, percussionAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a long-form interview podcast where I sit down with musicians, composers, producers, and music industry veterans to explore the stories behind their careers, creative process, collaborations, and musical philosophy.

Ferran Torres peut-il bousculer la hiérarchie offensive du PSG ? Sa connexion avec Ousmane Dembélé et son profil posent une vraie question à Luis Enrique : quelle place lui donner dans une attaque où évoluent aussi Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia et Maghnes Akliouche ? Sur Paris Central, on analyse ce que l'attaquant espagnol peut apporter au Paris Saint-Germain sur la durée. Son triplé ne suffit pas à refaire une équipe. La concurrence se construit avec de la régularité, une compréhension du jeu et la capacité à répondre aux exigences du coach. Mais les débuts de Ferran Torres ouvrent un débat intéressant : peut-il devenir davantage qu'une solution de rotation et pousser Luis Enrique à revoir certains choix selon les adversaires ? Dans cette émission PSG, nous discutons de sa place dans le collectif, de sa complémentarité avec Dembélé et des possibilités qu'il offre au onze parisien. L'objectif : comprendre ce qui pourrait lui permettre de gagner du terrain dans la hiérarchie, sans tirer de conclusion après une soirée réussie. FERRAN TORRES : QUELLE VALEUR AJOUTÉE POUR LE PSG ? Finition, appels dans la surface, occupation des espaces, déplacements sans ballon : quels arguments peuvent faire la différence dans l'attaque du Paris Saint-Germain ? Nous débattons de l'intérêt de son profil face à une défense regroupée, dans un match ouvert ou lorsque Paris doit concrétiser sa domination. Pour s'installer, il devra aussi participer au pressing, aux combinaisons et à l'équilibre de l'équipe. DEMBÉLÉ ET TORRES : UNE ASSOCIATION À DÉVELOPPER ? Leur connexion invite à réfléchir à la répartition des rôles. Dembélé peut créer, décrocher et attirer des adversaires ; Torres peut-il profiter de ces mouvements pour attaquer les zones décisives ? Comment les associer sans rendre Paris plus prévisible ? Et cette complémentarité suffit-elle à leur faire une place ensemble dans les rencontres les plus exigeantes ? DOUÉ, KVARATSKHELIA, AKLIOUCHE : UNE CONCURRENCE QUI CHANGE LES CHOIX Le PSG dispose de profils différents pour animer son attaque. Percussion, créativité, capacité à combiner, finition, travail défensif : chaque joueur apporte des réponses particulières. Faire progresser Torres dans la hiérarchie signifie-t-il forcément réduire le rôle d'un autre ? Ou Luis Enrique peut-il construire plusieurs associations fortes, adaptées aux besoins du match et à la forme des joueurs ? LUIS ENRIQUE : UN ONZE DE RÉFÉRENCE OU PLUSIEURS ATTAQUES POSSIBLES ? La question dépasse le choix de trois noms. Un entraîneur doit gérer les automatismes, la fraîcheur physique, la confiance et les exigences tactiques. À quelles conditions faut-il reconduire une association qui fonctionne ? Quand faut-il privilégier un autre profil ? Nous confrontons deux approches : installer des repères durables ou faire vivre une concurrence où personne ne joue uniquement grâce à son statut. QUELLE PLACE POUR TORRES DANS LES GRANDS RENDEZ-VOUS ? Être une option efficace en Ligue 1 et s'imposer dans un match à élimination directe en Ligue des champions ne posent pas exactement les mêmes défis. Que doit-il encore montrer pour convaincre dans ces contextes ? Régularité, qualité des choix, influence dans le jeu et intensité sans ballon seront au cœur de notre discussion. Son parcours au PSG se jugera sur la durée, avec des adversaires et des scénarios variés. À VOUS DE TRANCHER Si tout le monde est disponible, quelle attaque choisissez-vous pour un grand match du PSG ? Quelle place accordez-vous à Ferran Torres : titulaire selon l'adversaire, remplaçant décisif ou candidat à une installation durable ? Donnez votre trio et expliquez le choix le plus difficile dans les commentaires. Abonnez-vous à Paris Central pour suivre nos débats, analyses, avant-matchs et débriefs du Paris Saint-Germain.

We're wrapping up our orchestra series with the loudest, most colorful family of all — percussion. Over the last few episodes, we've built an orchestra together one family at a time. We met the strings, then the woodwinds, then the brass. This week we're adding the fourth and final family, and I saved a fun one for last. Here's the thing about percussion — it's not one special way of making sound, like bowing or breathing or buzzing. It's any instrument you play by hitting it, shaking it, scraping it, or tapping it. Which means this family is enormous. Drums, cymbals, triangles, tambourines, xylophones, gongs, cowbells, even a slide whistle — if you can imagine striking it, some composer somewhere has written music for it. To keep it simple, we sort the whole family into two groups: unpitched percussion (the instruments that keep the beat but don't play a melody, like a snare drum or crashing cymbals) and pitched percussion (the instruments that can actually play a tune, like a xylophone or timpani). And then there's a twist I saved for the very end of the episode — an instrument almost every one of you has sitting in your living room right now, and it's part of the percussion family too. (If you've been following along with us at home, I bet you can guess what it is before you even hit play.) What You'll Hear in This Episode Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (Episode 21) — percussion taking over the finale with crashing cymbals, booming bass drum, and even cannons The dramatic ending of Peter and the Wolf (Episode 122) — where the hunters' gunshots are actually the timpani and bass drum "Fossils" from Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals (Episode 157) — a xylophone rattling out an eerily perfect melody A little reveal about the instrument so many of your kids are learning at home right now Free Printable: Percussion Family Spotter This one finishes out our full set of Family Spotters. Print it out, listen along, and check off each percussion instrument as you hear it — then color in the badge when you're done. If you've collected all four Spotters through this series, you now have a complete set, one for every family in the orchestra.

Nach Jahren der Überarbeitung und mehreren Verschiebungen ist „Before the World Blows: The Abi & Alan Experiment“ von Erykah Badu und The Alchemist erschienen und verbindet Badus Neo-Soul- und Rap-Wurzeln mit den warmen, Boom-Bap-Produktionen von The Alchemist. Badu war von der Produktion bis zum Mix als Executive Producer beteiligt und nutzt Instrumente wie Kalimba und Percussion als Erweiterungen ihrer Stimme, während sie das Album als einen Ort der Heilung, Reflexion und inneren Entwicklung versteht. Inhaltlich treffen alltägliche Gedanken auf größere gesellschaftliche Themen, etwa in „Black Box“, das die schädlichen Auswirkungen digitaler Medien thematisiert. Pünktlich zur Rückkehr des Hip-Hop-Lesekreises aus der Sommerpause sprechen wir deshalb über „Witch Doctor“m einen der rätselhaftesten und verspieltsten Tracks des Albums.07.09.2026 FM4 Homebase 20 Uhr

Welcome to Episode 245, this week we are joined by Ryan Vezina of Recycled Percussion. Ryan went viral last fall for participating in a New Hampshire hiking challenge where with no experience, he attempted to hike all 48 of New Hampshire's 4000 Footers in 7 days. He ultimately missed the 7 day mark but was successful in completing the challenge in 11 days total. Ryan gained a lot of attention and some controversy during the attempt and we covered the event on a dedicated episode back in October of last year. We've been in touch with him on and off and schedules have finally aligned to allow us to sit down with him to get his perspective. We will also learn about his background in other endurance activities and he will share more about his music and media activities.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with multi-instrumentalist and recording artist Erik Hall to talk about his evolving relationship with minimalist music. We begin with his large-ensemble interpretation of Simeon ten Holt's Canto Ostinato, created in collaboration with Metropolis Ensemble and Sandbox Percussion following a performance at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.Erik takes me inside the challenges of moving from a solitary, multitracked recording process to an ensemble filled with individual players, instincts, and senses of time. We talk about tempo, repetition, concentration, and how a piece changes when musicians must listen, respond, and move through it together.We also trace Erik's path from childhood classical piano lessons through jazz drumming, rock bands, touring, and record-making. That wide musical background eventually brought him back to the piano and to solo interpretations of works by Steve Reich, Simeon ten Holt, Glenn Branca, Charlemagne Palestine, and Laurie Spiegel.  Along the way, Erik explains how microphone placement and instrumentation helped him build the sonic world of Music for 18 Musicians. He also reflects on the balance between honoring a score and giving himself enough freedom to discover something personal inside it.We close with Erik's return to original composition, the creative discipline of working every day, and the surprising power of writing music that can stand on its own in a single performance. We also talk about his recent time playing drums with Natalie Bergman—and why, behind the kit, feel matters far more than complexity.Key TakeawaysErik's large-ensemble version of Canto Ostinato grew from his 2023 solo recording and an invitation from Andrew Cyr of Metropolis Ensemble.The project began with a 52-musician performance at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden before being refined into a studio recording with Metropolis Ensemble and Sandbox Percussion.Playing repetitive music with an ensemble requires a different kind of attention than building it alone through overdubs, especially when navigating cues, repeats, tempo, and transitions.Erik's background in classical piano, percussion, jazz drumming, guitar, touring, and studio recording all informs the way he approaches minimalist music.While recording Music for 18 Musicians, Erik used instrumentation and microphone placement to preserve the behavior of Steve Reich's arrangement while creating a distinct sonic identity.Years of working on Canto Ostinato have transformed Erik's piano playing and reconnected him with the patient, incremental process of learning music.Erik is now developing original material, including music conceived for solo piano or Fender Rhodes, while also working on a film score and considering future interpretive recordings.Music from the EpisodeMusic for 18 Musicians (Pulses) - Erik HallCanto Ostinato - Erik HallStrumming Music - Erik HallMusic for a Large Ensemble - Erik HallThe Temple of Venus - Erik HallAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about music, the people who make it, and the experiences that shape their creative lives.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with percussionist, composer, educator, and Sō Percussion member Josh Quillen for a wide-ranging conversation about teaching, ensemble life, steel pan, podcasting, grief, musical history, and the value of listening closely.Josh joined Sō Percussion in 2006 and has spent nearly two decades helping the ensemble develop its distinctive approach to contemporary chamber music. We talk about how the group has evolved from a model built around four percussionists playing similar setups into one that more openly reflects the individual musical identities of its members. Josh shares how composers such as Steven Mackey helped the group recognize the value of those differences, from steel pan and drum set to marimba, electronics, singing, and synthesizers.We also spend time discussing the Sō Percussion Summer Institute, which Josh describes as one of the most demanding and rewarding parts of his year. He explains how the institute asks young musicians to learn an enormous amount of music with unfamiliar collaborators, confront insecurity, and discover that missing a note is rarely the most important problem in the room.The conversation becomes deeply personal as Josh talks about losing his father to ALS, preserving one of the final recordings of his voice, and how that experience helped shape his podcast, Concert Honesty. We discuss the importance of documenting artists as full human beings, the danger of turning musical heroes into myths, and what Josh has learned from speaking with musicians such as Russ Hartenberger, Bob Becker, Joan Tower, Steve Reich, and others.Along the way, Josh reflects on growing up in rural Ohio, learning discipline from his father's work at a bottling warehouse, discovering steel band in high school, traveling to Trinidad without a phone, and learning that musical development often comes from curiosity, failure, repetition, and the freedom to make mistakes without having every moment permanently documented.Key Takeaways• The Sō Percussion Summer Institute is designed to give young musicians an intensive taste of professional ensemble life, including uncertainty, limited rehearsal time, unfamiliar collaborators, and ambitious repertoire.• Josh believes strong teaching requires precision, empathy, and the ability to give honest criticism without stripping students of their confidence.• Sō Percussion's musical identity has gradually shifted from four players demonstrating similar technical skills toward a model that embraces each member's individual musical interests.• Steven Mackey's It Is Time became an important turning point by highlighting Josh's steel pan background and the distinct musical personalities of the Sō Percussion members.• Josh's approach to Steve Reich's music is rooted in chamber music precision, shared pulse, groove, and a clearly defined ensemble identity.• Concert Honesty began partly as a way to preserve the voices, experiences, and humanity of musicians beyond their résumés and major accomplishments.• Losing his father to ALS shaped Josh's understanding of memory, grief, recorded sound, and the importance of preserving a person's voice.Music from the EpisodeMusic for Wood and Strings (Part 1) - Bryce Dessner (Sō Percussion)To the Sky - Caroline Shaw (Sō Percussion)Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part - Caroline Shaw (Sō Percussion)Rectangles and Circumstance - Caroline Shaw (Sō Percussion)About the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about how music gets made and the people who make it.

Philipp Kohnkes Leidenschaft ist das Schlagzeug. Wenn er davon spricht, meint er aber nicht nur das klassische Schlagwerk, er meint, so sagte er in einem Interview, „alles, auf das man draufhaut“. Die Begeisterung für das Instrument wurde 2022 zum Motor und zur Initialzündung für ein Percussion-Festival, dem Überschlag Festival, das sich inzwischen zu Europas größtem internationalen Schlagzeugfestival etabliert hat. Mitte August (19.8. bis 23.8.) ist es wieder so weit, dann wird die dritte Auflage des Festivals eröffnet und in Hannover spielen Rhythmus, Percussion, Schlaginstrumente, internationale, lokale Stars und Nachwuchstalente die große Rolle auf den Bühnen der Stadt.Vorher ist Philipp Kohnke, künstlerischer Leiter des Überschlag Festivals, zu Gast bei NDR Kultur à la carte und spricht mit Andrea Schwyzer über Programm, Impulse und Entwicklung eines in der Szene unverzichtbaren Festivals.

Join Infinite and Brick for a guest-free deep dive into the language of music—how instruments “talk,” how arrangements create emotion, and why certain sounds carry meaning beyond the lyrics. From the way rhythm locks in the body to how melody speaks to the mind, they'll break down what to listen for and how to understand what you're hearing. They'll also cover practical basics every artist should know before signing a music contract—terminology, common traps, and questions to ask—so you can protect your work and your future.Homework Assignment:Listen & Map the Instruments**: Pick one track you love and write down the main roles each instrument plays (rhythm, melody, harmony, texture). Note when each instrument enters and what changes emotionally.Chord + Rhythm Check**: Find the chord progression (or listen for changes) and identify the song's rhythmic “engine” (drums/groove/percussion). Write 3 observations about how the groove supports the melody.Contract Prep Questions**: Choose a real contract clause you've seen (royalties, publishing, masters, exclusivity, term). Write:  What it means in plain language  What you think you're giving up  5 questions you would ask before signingWe would LOVE to hear what you think. Please drop a line.Support the show

Earlier this week I brought back the audio of one of my favorite conversations from the vault. Today, the full video version is here.If you missed the audio episode, here's the short version: in 2018, Mariana Ramirez became the first female Mexican percussionist to ever perform on a Broadway show, subbing Once On This Island. A year later she held the percussion chair on that show's national tour. Then came sub work on Head Over Heels (drumset book) and Ain't Too Proud, plus Off-Broadway runs of Merrily We Roll Along and Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish.Today she holds the percussion chair at the hit Broadway show SIX.But watch this interview and you'll see the chair is just one piece of a much bigger career.Mariana began her studies at the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico City, where she won the percussion position at the Carlos Chávez Youth Orchestra, then earned her Bachelor of Music at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, picking up the Percussive Arts Society Thomas Siwe Scholarship along the way.She founded Percussion Quartet Excelsis — the first multinational all-female percussion quartet in the U.S. — which Jonathan Haas, head of the NYU Percussion Department, called one of the most innovative and exciting ensembles of this era of chamber music. Excelsis has performed twice on NPR's From the Top, at the Zeltsman Marimba Festival, Tippet Rise in Montana, and the Newport Classical Music Festival, and in 2024 the group received Chamber Music America's highest grant.Her recording credits include Platinum Girls and Song of Solomon on Broadway Records, and a concerto for bandoneon and violin with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. She has performed with the National Symphony of Mexico, the first all-women orchestra of Mexico, and premiered new works at Alice Tully Hall. She's appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and in Mozart in the Jungle. She won the FONCA grant for Mexican artists twice in a row, touring an original percussion-and-dance project across five Mexican cities. She teaches. She's endorsed by Sabian, Pearl, and Innovative Percussion.Traditional Mexican music. Symphony halls. Chamber ensembles. Television. Education. And eight shows a week on Broadway.Nobody builds a career like that by waiting for the phone to ring. Watch the conversation and you'll understand exactly how she did it — starting with a Santana concert in Mexico City when she was 11 years old, watching three percussionists light up a stadium and deciding, right there, what her life was going to be.Watch the full interview above.The audio version is available now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify if you'd rather listen on the go.And coming up next on the podcast: Spencer Inch. Stay tuned — that one's going to be worth the wait.For the complete roadmap to building a career in theater, grab Broadway Bound and Beyond at broadwayboundbook.com.Clayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

In 2018, Mariana Ramirez walked into the pit at Once On This Island as a sub and made history. She became the first female Mexican percussionist to ever perform on a Broadway show.Nobody handed her that moment. She built it.I first published this conversation in March of 2022, and it remains one of my favorites. Most of you weren't subscribed back then, so I'm bringing it back — the story is too good to leave in the archive.Who is Mariana Ramirez?Mariana is an NYC-based freelance percussionist who began her music studies at the National Conservatory of Mexico in Mexico City before earning her Bachelor of Music in Percussion at Rutgers University.That first Broadway sub gig at Once On This Island opened doors. She went on to sub Head Over Heels and Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations, then hit the road holding the drums/percussion chair on the Once On This Island national tour. Off-Broadway, her credits include Merrily We Roll Along and Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, among many others. Today, she is one of just two female Mexican drummer/percussionists performing on Broadway.But her career stretches far beyond the pit.She has performed across Europe, Asia, and Mexico with Mexican traditional music bands, symphonic ensembles, chamber orchestras, and pop bands. You may have caught her on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, in the series Mozart in the Jungle, or at the NBC Universal Upfronts at Radio City Music Hall.She also founded Percussion Quartet Excelsis, which Jonathan Haas, head of the NYU Percussion Department, praised as one of the most innovative and exciting percussion ensembles of this era of chamber music. Excelsis has performed twice on NPR's From the Top, at the Percussive Arts Society New York Weekend of Percussion, Brooklyn Bound with Sō Percussion, Zeltsman Marimba Festival, and Tippet Rise Music Festival in Montana. The group is endorsed by Sabian Cymbals.As a symphonic percussionist, she has performed with the National Symphony of Mexico, Orquesta de Minería, the first all-women orchestra of Mexico, Dartmouth Symphony, South Florida Symphony, New England Ensemble, Fairfield Orchestra, and most recently with The Dessoff Choir, premiering works for choir and orchestra at Alice Tully Hall.Traditional Mexican music. Broadway pits. Symphony halls. Chamber ensembles. Television. That range is not an accident — it's the career.In this conversation, we talk about:* The Santana concert in Mexico City that made an 11-year-old girl decide, on the spot, what she wanted to do with her life* Her path from the National Conservatory of Mexico to Rutgers to New York* What it took to break into Broadway subbing — and what it meant to be the first* How versatility across genres and settings keeps a freelance career aliveAnd when you're done with this one, keep an eye on your inbox. Up next on the podcast: Spencer Inch. You won't want to miss that conversation.For the complete roadmap to building a career in theater, grab Broadway Bound and Beyond at broadwayboundbook.com.Broadway Bound and Beyond isn't theory. It's twenty-six years on Broadway broken down into what actually works: how auditions really get decided, how reputation gets built or destroyed, how money works in this business, why versatility keeps you employed, and what it takes to last decades instead of one season. If you want the full career picture, the hardcover is at broadwayboundbook.com.If subbing is specifically your way in, the book gets you the mindset and the etiquette, but the Broadway Sub Playbook goes further. It's the actual system: the four-week prep formula, the show-day routine, how to take notes that stick, how to handle a pit you've never sat in before. It's built for one job — getting you ready for that call when it comes — and it's the resource a lot of working subs wish they'd had before their first one.Grab both at signaturebrandworks.com.Clayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre. He is also the founder of Broadway Drumming 101 and the author of Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career.His Broadway credits include Memphis, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud, and Cats: The Jellicle Ball, with additional credits spanning tick, tick…BOOM!, The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical, and subbing on Rent, Motown, Evita, Avenue Q, and the Hadestown tour.Clayton has appeared on The View, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, and the Tony Awards.
