Season 14 American Idol runner-up Clark Beckham’s talent is indescribable. With his recent single Luckiest Man, Beckham sings from the heart to his now-wife.
“I wrote this song weeks before I proposed to my girlfriend. I was head over heels in love and I wanted a song that could only be written by someone who was, at that moment, emphatically in love And I was. And I am,” explains Clark. “As I write this, I’ve been married to the girl in the song for 5 days. Singing this song to her at the wedding reception, looking down at my newly ringed finger, hearing the words I wrote, as if for the first time, I realized there was no truer statement: I am the luckiest man alive.”
In 2018, Clark released his Year One EP, which debuted at #6 on iTunes’ Alternative chart and #22 on Billboard’s R&B Sales chart. Since then, Clark has performed with the famous Nashville Symphony, opened up for platinum-selling recording artists Jon Bellion and Allen Stone, and was nominated for a Teen Choice Award.
Clark is currently gearing up for the release of his debut album, Light Year, which infuses elements of Soul/R&B with pop melodies. The latest release from the album, “Luckiest Man,” is a lyrically beautiful, stripped-down track with a deeply personal meaning.
Clark views this driving force of new, original music as a natural and upward progression in his career. With captivating and dynamic energy, complemented by his effortless vocal range, Clark’s musical journey is just getting started.
