Platinum and gold records align his walls alongside the American Music and Billboard Music Awards on his shelves. He’s made a lasting difference with his music.

What a fun bit of information.  It looks like we might hear some more concerts by Clay after the holidays!

So…..what is Arts Management Associates?  The following is from their website:

Established in 2003 as a full-service booking agency, providing exemplary customer service to its presenting clients as well as to the diverse roster of talent it represents. Arts Management Associates’ mission is to meet the needs of both these important constituencies by placing high value on integrity, superior communication and meticulous attention to detail.

Their website is full of interesting information.  Be sure and visit.  They have three great pictures of Clay on his page.  AMAWebsite

The following is what they say about Clay:

In the fast paced world of here and gone celebrities who are famous for being famous, it‘s rare to find a household name with iconic status based on actual talent. Yet, nearly ten years after he penetrated the national consciousness, Clay Aiken is associated with more than just singing, acting and philanthropy. It’s hard to know which path to take when describing this success. His versatile reach as a performer spans recording and television studios, the concert stage, the Broadway stage and the world stage.

Yes…Clay is an amazing talent.  I hope he continues to entertain us for a long time!

If only the world were filled with people who had Clay Aiken-like attitudes about Autism!  He is a long-time supporter of Autism causes, and it all came about because of his experience working with a boy with Autism.

This is a special day for all three of you!

Children are special and you now have 4 years filled with excitement, laughter, tears and love.

We wish many more years of the same!

Here are some fun facts about birthdays that will make you smile.

More people celebrate their birthdays in August than in any other month (about 9% of all people).

More people are born on October 5 in the United States than any other day. October 5 holds a not-so-surprising significance, as conception would have fallen on New Year’s Eve.

Happy Birthday was the first song to be performed in outer space. It was sung by the Apollo IX astronauts on March 8, 1969.

Happy Birthday to You brings in approximately 2 million dollars in licensing revenue each year, according to Warner Chappell and a Forbes Magazine article

 Are you looking for a way to honor Parker on his birthday?

Why not donate to The National Inclusion Project in his name?

Just $10.00 will make a big difference!

  4. Yes, I had heard about Clay being added to the AMA Lineup!! Things are looking up for 2013-2014. I loved it when Clay went out and entertained us with orchestras. Back in 2007, the SRHP Tour was great. A different orchestra in each city. It's amazing how they can learn the whole set list in a day. Truly amazing musicians.

    Happy Birthday Parker!!! 4 years old…I hope he will have a wonderful day filled with laughter, fun and love. I'm sure he will. He is so blessed to have Jaymes and Clay as parents…and they are blessed to have Parker as well. It's an all win situation!!!!!

    Clay has always been so interested in kids with Autism, and from Learning to Sing, this is where his passion for teaching came into play. He truly is an amazing man.

  8. So good to learn that Clay and the Arts Management Associates are actively doing promotion for symphony engagement dates in 2013-2014. Looks like Clay still loves his singing career.

    Great suggestion to contribute $10 to the National Inclusion Project in honor of Parker's birthday. I decided to match his age of 4 years times the $10 for a contribution. A very Happy Birthday to Parker.

    It's Interesting that August is the most popular birth month. An early Happy Birthday to you *musicfan* from a fellow August birthday celebrant!

  9. I loved all the articles that you mentioned today. First, I am excited about A.M.A. and loved watching the wonderful video you posted that they are using. It brought back memories of that wonderful concert!

    I loved reading about the Clay mention in the THRIVING article! It really would be a much better world for individuals with autism if everyone had Clay's attitute and knowledge regarding it.

    I loved reading the fun birthday facts. I can't believe Parker is already 4. It is a great idea to donate to the National INclusion Project in honor of Clay's, Jaymes's and Parker's special day.

  10. Happy Birthday Parker! You are going to grow up big and strong and wonderful just like your family. Listen to Mommy and Daddy Little Grasshopper! You tube has funny Happy BirthdaysSmurfs and Penguins are the best
