From a very young age, TD Clark knew he wanted to play music. When he was six, Clark had access to the piano at his grandparents’ house. In awe of his older cousin who was a piano prodigy, TD began to practice every day. Unfortunately, when his grandparents retired to Arizona, they took the piano with them. After that, TD was itching for a musical outlet.  
 

One day, restless and bored, TD decided to dig through his mom’s closet. Near the back, he found an old guitar. As he started banging away on the guitar, his mom got annoyed. That’s when he knew he was on to something good!

In high school, TD kept playing guitar, and found himself playing in all sorts of projects, from an ad hoc talent show band to playing local youth spots and school events. For a while, TD took lessons from a local teacher who taught him how to learn songs by listening to albums. If he wasn’t hooked before, this was it.

Clark’s first serious band, Second Glance, is where TD learned to write and record music. Unfortunately, due to typical high school drama, the band broke up. Frustrated with that experience, Clark decided to record a solo album.

In between recording sessions, Clark severely crushed his hand in a work-related accident. While doctors tried to keep his hands still, TD was not convinced. He struggled through the recording sessions, laying down tracks while in excruciating pain. Luckily, doctors say this activity helped the healing process.
