Studio Milwaukee Session: Earl St. Clair

Def Jam recording artist, Earl St. Clair stopped by 88Nine studios for a special live performance in front of an artist. With the release of his debut album, Songs About a Girl I Used to Know, Earl St. Clair will soon rectify that. As evinced by his guest vocals and lyrics on Avicii’s “Pure Grinding,” which has racked up almost 14 million views, or the caffeinated “Feeling Alive,” a tight, ebullient jam that springs to life with his animated delivery, St. Clair possesses a massive talent that’s refreshingly modern yet hearkens back to the soul greats. Laced with grit and sounding ripped from the depths of his soul, his voice still manages to skip lightly over hooks that lodge in your head for days. While he’s just now revealing his talent as an artist to the mainstream, he’s already won fans like Jeremih and been a secret weapon in songwriting sessions for Rick Ross’ Black Market and Machine Gun Kelly’s General Admission—and on the latter, St. Clair has a handful of producing credits as well. In fact, producing was his first love. Born in Cleveland, St. Clair was an inquisitive, energetic child who played sports and in the school band. “I had to keep my mind busy. Just like it is today. I work all the time or else I’d go crazy,” he says. His father and uncles loved blues, funk and soul, while his mother leaned toward a mix of modern gospel like Kirk Franklin and Quiet Storm favorites like Anita Baker and the Isley Brothers. With Cleveland plopped right in the middle of the East, Midwest and South, St. Clair’s influences are wide.
