## Biography

Alain Clark (born 4 June 1979), is a Dutch- Aruban singer, songwriter, and record producer. Alain's father is Dane Clark, a Dutch soul singer who had his own successful band Dane and the Dukes of Soul.

Alain blends pop melodies with his own natural R&B roots to write an organic, electric mix of music layered with infectious harmonies.

Alain released his debut record album in 2004, a self-titled album which featured the hit "Heerlijk". Alain wrote the music and produced the album with help from noted producers [Fluitsma & Van Tijn](/source/Fluitsma_%26_Van_Tijn). Alain wrote and produced music for [Ali B](/source/Ali_B), Simon, Men2B, and for Dutch TV shows including *[Idols](/source/Idols_(Dutch_TV_series))*, and *[Popstars: The Rivals](/source/Popstars%3A_The_Rivals)* and had his first #1 single with the song "Bigger Than That".

Alain's career took off with the release of his second album (and first English language album) in 2007, the award winning, *Live It Out*. Featuring [Steve Gadd](/source/Steve_Gadd) on drums, *Live It Out* has sold nearly 200,000 copies and contains the huge hit "Father and Friend", a duet with his father, Dane Clark. Alain released *Colorblind* in 2010, which entered the charts at #1 and went double platinum. *Generation Love Revival* followed in 2012, and *Walk With Me* in 2014.
