My name is Clay Stevens I am a 23 year old recent graduate of Northeastern University currently living in Boston Massachusetts. In school, I studied graphic design, along with minoring in Political Science.
In 2018 as a sophomore in high school, I began writing rap music with my friends under the name “AlphaKappaHOMO”. I grew up in McKinney, Texas, and was one of only a handful of gay kids in my whole town. I used AlphaKappaHOMO as an outlet to express my inner turmoil regarding everything I felt I couldn't be. While at the time, I was making and releasing these songs purely for the enjoyment of friends and myself, little did I know I was creating the basis for what would become the biggest project of my life.
At its core, my music is a reflection of me and my interests. My love for artists like Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, SOPHIE, and Elton John permeate my sound and lyrics. I also love to inject my love of internet culture into my music as well, with audio clips from pop culture icons like Wendy Williams and Tiffany “New York” Pollard ever-present throughout my work.
Collaboration is a huge part of my process- I love to include my friends in my music (whether they have experience with music or not). I think the medium of music/song creation allows for a greater level of collaboration compared to any other type of art, and some of the greatest friendships I have were built from our shared love of music. I am always searching for new people to create music with!
