Carl St Clair
Jul 11, 2010 Beyond The Music, Legends, Stars with a Pen, Today's Stars
One of the things I love about being involved with WDGP is the fact that I get to meet and talk with so many people. The first living legend I got to interview was Drink Small, a blues artists whose been in the business for over 50 years and still going strong.
On July 11, 2010 I got to chat with Mr Carl St. Clair who’s career in music has been vast. Mr St Clair had the music in him. He has entertained since childhood. From pretending to be a Dj to competing in talent shows. This was preparation for a long and rewarding career as a Reggae Artist. Being transplanted from Kingston, Jamaica to the UK did not dampen his spirit or his talent, since he has continued to enjoy a healthy career. Best yet, he’s not done. He continues to turn out great music as well as produce other artists in his own studio. It was my pleasure to share him and his music with my listening audience.
He is a very personable young man that has much more music left in him. Look to hear more. Keep up with Carl St. Clair on Myspace.com

Quotes:
‘An incredible musician stretching far beyond the realms of beat making. She is a wonderful maker of music, adding elements of soul, funk and a touch of jazz to the mix. She definitely has an old soul way beyond her years, bringing something old, something new, something real , and something true to the ever changing world of music. A true artist in my book…..’ Reggie B (Artist and Collaborator)
