JD Clayton is a singer-songwriter from Fort Smith, Arkansas, who is quickly making a name for himself in the country music scene. His debut album, Long Way From Home, was released in 2023 and received critical acclaim for its honest and relatable lyrics and Clayton's warm and inviting vocals.

With John Prine and Willie Nelson among his fans and awards to his name, the Kentucky songwriter is a rising star of country – but he’s dismayed by its fixation on beer and pickup trucks.
