You may have never met Clydene Jackson, but you’ve most certainly heard her singing on platinum records by Rod Stewart, Barbra Streisand, Michael McDonald, Patti LaBelle and others; in top-grossing films like The Lion King, Princess Diaries II ,Toy Story 2 and Mean Girls; on hundreds of national commercials and prime-time network television shows, and possibly in a concert hall or candle-lit cabaret.

Clydene is best known in the music industry as a first-call session singer, twice recognized with the MVP Best Female Vocalist Award from the (NARAS) National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. She is also an accomplished composer, lyricist and arranger of which her songs have been recorded by Natalie Cole and Barbara Mandrell plus she composed the theme for ABC-TV’s "Homeroom."

Originally from Oakland, California, she began her musical life as a pianist, studying the classics, playing and singing in church choirs. When Clydene interprets her own lyrics and melodies she creates a powerful circle.

Clydene’s debut solo album, ‘Fresh”, produced by the legendary Ray Charles, allowed her to fulfill roles, songwriter and performer. She enjoys expressing her individuality as an artist. As a member of GRAVITY, this band also sparks her skills in writing, recording and touring; the group debuted their first recording on Pony Canyon Records label. By early 1997, GRAVITY’s recordings earned them a solid concert audience and regular tours of Japan and Hawaii. Today, Clydene continues to tour with GRAVITY and is a consummate session vocalist.

Her new CD, “Sparrow”, is a beautiful blend of inspirational hymns with contemporary and classical arrangements that Clydene has played in church since childhood.

Clydene Jackson sings with grace, elegance and passion; her voice has a direct connection to her soul.
