Clay Walker
Guest Artist
Clay Walker first topped the Billboard country singles chart in 1993 with "What's It to You" and followed with his second consecutive No. 1, "Live Until I Die." Since then he's placed 31 titles on Billboard's singles chart. He's scored four platinum-selling albums, and two gold-selling albums.
Walker's career began in Beaumont, Texas. When he was only 16-years-old, and working nights as a desk clerk at a Super 8 Motel, he took a tape of a song he wrote to a nearby radio station. The disc jockey told him it was against corporate policy to play such tapes on the air. "I was heartbroken, but when I left the studio and got in my car--and I remember it was about 6:30 in the morning-- as I was driving away from the radio station and he said, "Folks, I'm not supposed to do this, but this song is just too good to pass up. This song was written by a hometown boy, his name is Clay Walker!' He spun it and I could not believe it. It was one of the highlights of my whole career.
In 1993, his first single on Giant, "What's It To You," flew up the chart and landed at No. 1. However, the Houston resident has never strayed far from his Texas roots or the Lone Star lifestyle.
Clay founded a non-profit charity, Band Against MS, in 2003, and was awarded a Humanitarian Award in 2008.
After more than a decade in the national spotlight, Clay Walker believes the best is yet to come.
