Clarence Wesley Jones A.k.A O-Lay, a moniker given to him by a childhood friend, is an aspiring newcomer to the Twin Cities music scene.

After graduating from Youth Challenge Military Academy and later receiving his commercial pilot's license from Transpac Aviation Academy, O-Lay decided to pursue a career in music. His passion took him across the continent to McNally Smith's College of Music, where he encountered his musical co-worker "Diatonic" and began working on his third project "The Set List" an overall lighthearted album themed around a live performance at a venue.

Will he be successful I supposed we will be the judges of that, but either way he won't be stopping. That's for certain.
