Artist description My name is Clayton Lewis and I usually go by MacDaddy around the web. I'm 33 years old and have been married to my lovely wife, Michelle for over 14 years. I have 3 children, Megan, Marissa, and Matthew and their ages are 12, 7, and 6 respectively. By day, I work as a Macintosh Systems consultant in the DC/Baltimore area but at night is when what I like to call "My Therapy" begins. After the kids go to bed, I spend the late hours writing music. I've been involved with music, one way or another, for over 20 years. School bands, bar bands, theater groups etc... I started playing sax in 5th grade and played all the way into college. My mom and dad bought me my first keyboard and i would spend hours learning to play. I appreciate them putting up with me all those years. I drove them nuts with all the foot tapping through out the night. When my wife and I married, we moved to Germany in 1989 and that's when I started getting into writing my own music. I pawned my sax at a local German pawn shop and bought a brand new Ensoniq SD-1, Alesis SR-16 Drum Machine and a Yamaha 4 track recorder. I spent the next few years developing sequencer skills and working on my keyboard technique. Over the years, I've gone through various synths and recording hardware. I even had an Alesis ADAT for about a year until I discovered the joy of computer sequencing. I bought my first Mac in the mid-90's... a used Mac 512k. What a dog. I started sequencing with one of the first versions of Performer... that was loads of fun but very slow... Then I bought a PowerMac 6100 and things picked up a bit. Today I have a G4 and loving life. I hope to be writing music for years to come and continue to hone my skills and who knows, maybe I'll get that big break by the time I'm 75. :) If you have questions or just want to chat, feel free to email me or you can find me on AIM or iChat with the screenname ClayISX. Thanks for listening
