About Clark J. Knighten
At just 5 years old, Clark began his musical training under Georgianna Pierce. By 16, he was sharing his music with various ministries in Greater New Orleans. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Xavier University, where he formed the band Trac One. After graduating, Clark continued to perform and minister across the U.S. and internationally. His diverse roles include Composer, Minister of Music, Choral Teacher, Clinician, Television/Movie Casting Consultant, Entrepreneur, and now he also provides musical instruction to others.
In 2000, Black Cat Productions was formed. At which time, Clark’s first CD project (Created Anew) was recorded. Following Created Anew, he released A Few Good Friends at Christmas, Simple & Sweet, and Treasures of New Orleans at Christmas. Recently, the Simple & Sweet 2…All Love Collection was released on CD and major streaming sites. Clark also organized a group of local musicians to form The 4×4 Connection Band. Clark and 4×4 have become entrenched in the musical culture of New Orleans. They have worked with numerous local artists, entertained national and international audiences, and played for the world-famous New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
On Father’s Day 2009, Clark developed the Smooth Jazz Sunday show. It started as a musical show to provide an opportunity for local artists to perform due to the lack of live music venues following Hurricane Katrina. What was supposed to be only four shows has become a monthly ritual for many. The show has grown from humble beginnings with travels to Mexico and the Bahamas. Clark and the 4 x 4 Connection members have entertained thousands for 14 uninterrupted seasons.
Currently, Clark is completing his 11th year as a Choir and Piano Class instructor at The Academy of Our Lady High School in Marrero, Louisiana.
