Although WHO’S CLAYTON was formed in 2012, their story began much earlier, budding from a common love for music. Starting in musical theatre at age 9 and 13, the frontmen of the group, Kevin Rose and Josh Elmore, grew up together after school singing harmony and interacting with audiences around the San Gabriel Valley. It wasn’t until they coincidentally met at a Cal State Fullerton orientation in 2008 that they decided to become roommates and later form WHO’S CLAYTON, a platform for their musical creativity and expression.

“I always liked to write stories as a child, but once I was introduced to theatre, the stories were already written for me to tell. Later, I picked up a guitar in High School as a way to accompany myself when I sang. By the time college rolled around, I was using guitar as a release from the strenuous curriculum I was dealing with - it was there I found my passion for composing original music.” - Kevin

Now, 13 years later, the dynamic duo continues to bear fruit through their rich harmony and storytelling through song. They have played in venues all over the west coast from San Diego, CA to Portland, OR opening for acts such as Rockapella, as well as headlining their own shows. Several residencies in their respective hometowns have allowed them the opportunity to hone their skills as musicians and performers. Whether at a coffee shop, a performing arts center, or a private party, WHO’S CLAYTON guarantees to provide great music supported by a youthful energy and passion for the arts!
