Album Notes

C.Clear is no stranger to the necessary Grind of this industry. Born in Queens NY, she moved to Baltimore at 20 years old and has made a home for herself there among Baltimore and DC's finest. She flips various styles as a singer/poet/songwriter and whatever hat necessary to get her point across. Best known for her live shows, her presence and smile captivates audiences of all genres, ages and ethnicities. With a mic and preferably a live band she is a force to be reckoned with. She has opened for artist such as Cee-lo Green (of Gnarls Barkley), Raheem Devaughn, Aretha Franklin, and Beyonce and rocked historic stages as the "Black Lily" and Ashford and Simpson’s “The Sugar Bar.” C.Clear has been compared to Floetry, Lauryn Hill and a modern version of Ella Fitzgerald with a twist of Billy Holiday. Her flow takes Hip hop and fuses it with a Gospel Truth Message that is positive and relevant to Love, Life, and the Hood from a Lady's perspective. Media Mogul Kathy Hughes, when inviting her to perform at the 25th Anniversary Gala for Radio One stated, “I feel like Christopher Columbus discovering America.” C.Clear has made her presence felt in front of audiences that read like a whose who of the industry, Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupree, Jay-Z and Mathew Knowles to name a few. Her live performance has been given praise out of the mouths of music legends like Kirk Franklin and the late Gerald Levert. As a solo artist and owner of Clear 7 Entertainment, C.Clear has taken steps to further her career in an industry that is saturated with similar styles. Having put out an EP independently, (one which sold out immediately) she is making strides to learn from her past experience while working diligently on her up and coming album, which she considers her true debut project. “A Souldiers Story,” is a collaboration of in studio recordings and a live in concert performance. With this album C.Clear is sure to turn the heads and the hearts of this often cutthroat industry and pull their focus toward every word that beautifully escapes her lips. Named for her ability to clearly illustrate real life topics and plainly reflect universal emotion, C.Clear (initially referred to as Crystal Clear), has an exceptional effect on her audience and is expected to transcend the average female rapper/ R&B singer. What is most compelling about this young woman as an artist is that it is evident that the Spirit that works in her is much greater than a few meaningless words and pompous ideas of grandeur. Her future in this industry is set in stone to be that of unparalleled success.
