Klayton

Klayton Born As Scott Albert Is An Industrial Rock Musician Who Has Performed Under A Variety Of Stage Names Over His Career And Is Best Known As Being The Frontman For His Latest Project Celldweller. Klayton Has Been A Part Of Many Bands And Side Projects Over The Years Including Circle Of Dust Argyle Park Angeldust Klank And Celldweller. His Role In Many Of His Earlier Bands Such As Circle Of Dust Was Mixing/producing Along With Some Instrumentals. In The Case Of Klank However He Had No Direct Influence Besides Producing. With Celldweller His Latest Project He Has Moved Into The "one-Man Band" Style Of Music Comparable To Trent Reznor Of Nine Inch Nails. One Of The Main Reasons That He Has Been A Part Of So Many Bands Is His Desire To Change The Type Of Music He Creates When He Feels It To Be Necessary. His First Main Act Circle Of Dust. Had A Very Distinct Feeling Of Industrial Mixed With Heavy Metal Though By Its Final Album It Had A Noticeably Softer Edge To It And Was Signed Onto A Christian Music Label R.E.X. Music. His Next Project Argyle Park Was A Short-Lived Collaboration Between Himself And His Friend Who Went Under The Stage Name Of 'Buka.' Argyle Park Released One Critically Acclaimed Self-Titled Album Before Its Members Folded It. Angeldust Which Followed Saw Him Paired Up With The Showman Criss Angel And While The Band Did Not Last Long Angel Has Now Released Music Under His Own Name Klayton Has Remarked That He Learned A Lot About Making A Good Live Show. His Latest Band Celldweller Is Very Easily Distinguished From The Rest By The Many Types Of Music He Produces With It Which Include Mixes Of Death Metal Trance Techno And Dance. The Live Show That Scott Produces With The Help Of Additional Band Members Now Includes More Use Of Video And Lighting In Synch With The Music. Klayton Is Currently Preparing The Next Celldweller Release Which Promises To Be Another Effort Towards Breaking Stereotypical Genre Boundaries. The New Album Will Feature A Cover Version Of The Bee Gees' Hit “Tragedy” Which Has Already Been Released As A Digital Single Along With New Tracks “Louder Than Words ” “Blackstar ” “The Lucky One ” And “So Long Sentiment.” With Each Track Klayton Continues To Redefine The Celldweller Vision While Maintaining His Signature Sound. The Album Is Slated For A 2007 Release. Originally Klayton Was Credited By His Birth Name But Starting With The Re-Recorded Version Of Circle Of Dust's Debut Album He Began Referring To Himself As Klay Scott And Likewise Following The Release Celldweller's Debut He Started Referring To Himself As Klayton. In Addition He Has Also Used Several Other Stage Names On His Various Projects Including Dred Deathwish And Celldweller. The Name Klay Was Reportedly Given To Him By Collaborator Criss Angel As A Reference To Klayton's Ability To Mold Sounds As A Sculptor Molds Clay. read less
