Celebrity of the Day

 

Clay Aiken

Photo
Clay Aiken is a multi-platinum recording artist, television personality, and advocate who first rose to national prominence on season two of “American Idol.” His debut album Measure of a Man entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 and went multi-platinum, while his first single, “This Is The Night,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with record-setting first-week sales.

Over the course of his career, Aiken has released multiple albums, headlined national tours, and appeared on Broadway in Monty Python’s Spamalot. His television credits include numerous specials and a runner-up finish on “The Celebrity Apprentice.” He is also a New York Times bestselling author for his memoir Learning to Sing.

Beyond entertainment, Aiken has maintained a longstanding commitment to advocacy. A former special education teacher, he co-founded the National Inclusion Project, which supports inclusive programming for children with disabilities, and served for nearly a decade as a UNICEF ambassador, traveling globally to promote children’s rights and access to education.

With a career spanning music, television, theater, and public service, Aiken continues to engage audiences through new recordings and live performances.

The multi-platinum artist is in NYC today Sept. 16 throug Sept. 21 for press and radio in support of his new album, Rewind, which drops Sept. 25th. The nine-track collection marks Aiken’s first album containing new original music in nearly two decades and follows his return to the “American Idol” stage earlier this year.

The album’s title track, “Rewind,” was released May 11th, when Aiken returned to “American Idol” to debut the song during the season finale. Written by Colton Avery and Grammy-winning producer Dave Audé and produced by Audé, “Rewind” marked Aiken’s first new original single in 18 years.

Rewind pairs Aiken’s signature vocals with contemporary pop production while reflecting where he is today, both personally and musically.
