You’ve heard of the “triple threat”? Well, meet Clay Hodges, the multi-hyphenate entertainer whose career is a masterclass in creative versatility. This Savannah, Georgia native has carved out a unique space for himself, seamlessly blending his passions for music, film, and wellness into a career that’s as authentic as it is inspiring.
Clay’s journey is deeply rooted in his Southern heritage, but he’s making waves on a global scale. His latest single, “Riverbounce,” is a vibrant tribute to his hometown and its rich Gullah Geechee culture. It’s more than just a song; it’s an ode to his roots, a track so compelling it’s currently on rotation in five different markets, from his home base in Atlanta all the way to London. It’s the perfect warm-up for what’s next: his new album, “Speak IT,” dropping in mid-January 2026. This project, Clay says, is all about speaking your truth and manifesting your desires into reality—a philosophy he embodies every day.
While music may be his deepest passion, Clay’s creative energy is too big to be contained in one medium. He’s a natural storyteller, and his music videos were just the beginning. They served as a launchpad into the world of filmmaking, leading him to create his biggest project to date: the television show, Phat Vegan.
Phat Vegan is a show where Clay travels the country, highlighting incredible vegan restaurants and proving that a plant-based lifestyle is anything but boring. The pilot, shot in Atlanta, was a huge success, finding a home on the indie streaming service Black on Demand (BOD). The show is a perfect blend of culture, humor, and health, and it’s already caught the attention of some big network reps, with talks of an official season in the works.
Clay’s resume is a testament to his ambition and talent. He brings an authentic voice and a dedicated audience to everything he does, whether he’s on stage, behind a camera, or collaborating with brands. He’s more than just an entertainer—he’s a cultural contributor who uses his art to uplift and empower. With “Speak IT” on the horizon and a potential TV deal on the table, Clay Hodges is showing us all what it looks like to speak your dreams into existence, one creative project at a time.
