He does not really like the spotlight but wants to make a difference. He has turned down chances to do more with his music but his family and foundation were more important. He has been involved in helping with The Safe Schools Improvement Act, Ambassador for UNICEF, Founded The Inclusion Project & so many things to help others... He is very sincere and has never done anything just for attention but because he wanted to make a difference. With the recent takeover of our State by some of the craziest politicians I have ever seen Clay would be a welcome relief..
