Sunday, 27 January 2008
A native Houstonian, John Denson a.k.a. Johnny Clutch, is an everyday guy doing phenomenal things. Discovered by producer and long time friend Warehouse, Clutch is sending a clear message that DA South can "spit".  His alluring voice brings you in to listen to tales of his actual life that play to music like a film score.

In the past year he has played along side such industry juggernauts as Pastor Troy and Lil Flip (BET Soundstage, Myrtle Beach). He has also received props from the original King of Southern Hip Hop, Scarface, and is at the top of the list of being the next big thing to blow in H-Town otherwise know as, "Clutch City".  In addition, he's a featured up n' comer on the DVD Live and Direct
http://www.theshowshow.com/trailers/live_and_direct_trailer.asx  ), and in the near future will be seen on such DVD titles as Xtra Clips and Smack. Big things are happening for this young man but the story behind him exposes the drive that made him.
 
Through the pain of the death of his father and the loss of his scholarship, all within an 18-month time period, Clutch found light at the end of the tunnel through the birth of his daughter. He has seen the effects of the other avenue of life while coming up in some of the roughest areas in Houston. He also has witnessed an all too often end result of that lifestyle with his older brother currently serving time. 

With that in mind, he made his hustle 100hr work weeks. His grind is just trying to survive. These experiences give Clutch the perfect mouthpiece to add a new flavor to the ever-growing popularity of southern hip-hop and give his music a passion and lyricism that in the end will have him mentioned in the same breath as Gheto Boys and UGK.
