Listening to music quickly became his go-to activity, a way to relax and feel connected to the world.

Among his favorite artists are Juan Karlos, Dilaw, Adele, and Céline Dion, whose voices and music resonate deeply with him.

Their music, energy, and passion became the soundtrack to his life, and Clyde developed a deep admiration for Freddie Mercury, Queen's iconic lead singer, as well as John Deacon on bass, Roger Taylor on drums, and especially Brian May, Queen's guitarist.

 
 

Brian May's incredible guitar playing became a major source of inspiration for Clyde. He found himself captivated by the way May could make the guitar sing, blending powerful solos with intricate melodies.

Over time, Clyde began to teach himself how to play, developing his skills and discovering the joy of creating music on his own.

Inspired by May's influence, Clyde not only learned to play the guitar but also began writing his own songs. Songwriting became a new form of expression for him, a way to channel his thoughts, emotions, and experiences into melodies and lyrics. Although Clyde has already written numerous songs, he is still on the journey to figuring out how to properly record and share them with the world.

At this stage of his musical journey, Clyde is focused on refining his craft. He knows that bringing his songs to life requires the right approach and collaboration. While he dreams of recording and releasing his music, he recognizes that the process takes time, and he is still searching for the right bandmates to help him bring his creations to fruition. His songs, though still personal and private, reflect his passion for music and his dedication to his art.

For now, Clyde is patient. He understands that the right moment will come, and he is willing to wait for the time when everything falls into place. With his guitar in hand and his songwriting notebook filled with lyrics, Clyde continues to dream, create, and work toward the day when his music will be ready to be shared with the world. He believes that it's not yet his time to shine, but soon, with perseverance and the right opportunities, the world will hear his music. As he says, "only time will tell."
