With over 20 years in the music business as an executive at some of the most prestigious major record labels in the world, it is no wonder why this tastemaker has been sought after by the music industry's elite. Big Billy Clark started out his career at Def Jam Recordings in 1994 when then CEO Russell Simmons recruited him into their west coast office. Clark hustled his way from intern to Senior Director of A&R/West Coast Office Manager.

After 9 years at his post at Island Def Jam, Clark ventured out and started Tour Managing. He traveled around the world to Japan, Germany & France for 2 years w/ Hoobastank and Christina Milian before he was brought into Atlantic Records as A&R by the labels President Craig Kallman.
In 2006 Clark was offered an executive A&R position at Sony Music where he developed and signed new artists. He also jumped on board to run a production company for The Black Eyed Peas' Printz Board called Beets & Produce, where he was able to develop singers, producers & songwriters.
