Da Clay whose birth name is, James Albert Owens, was born (Greensboro) and raised (Winston-
Salem) in North Carolina. He was raised in a single parent home with his brother, while he turned to the passions of his flesh and the love his rough environment had to offer. These particular passions drove him to rebellion against God in the form of sexual perversion, rage, various forms of idolatry and more but God knew that his darkened life would soon become a light for life.
Da Clay wears multiple hats, but his dearest one is that of the family. He is very family oriented and loves being the entire husband he knows to be, to his beautiful wife, Teri N. Owens. His ministry is currently driven by the lights of his two (plus one soon to come) children by the name of Micah A. Owens (son) and A’Leyah M. Owens (daughter). At the current age of 29 years old (November 29) these two roles have profoundly become of the most importance to him in relation to his purpose to the earth.
Da Clay eyes became opened to the faith in mid 2004. His ministry consists of music, art and fashion which for the music side; he is currently on Double Edge Sword Records as both an artist and promotions manager. Da Clay has ministered along side of artists of great magnitude such as: Da T.R.U.T.H., Lecrae, Tedashii, KJ-52, Canton Jones, Jeremy Camp, Kids in the Way, K-Drama, D-Maub, Third Day, and many more. He has ministered (performed) in stateside events such as: Heavens Fest (Denver, Co) and Mid West Music Fest I, II, and III (Colorado Springs, Co) just to name a few. His ministry has also been heard in foreign countries such as Kuwait and Iraq. His debut album, “Genesis: My Life after His Death” (2007), released nationally exudes his passion for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The newest project, “Life Line” in soon to hits stores nationally and selected stores in the Kuwait area early 2010. The album delivers a message of true freedom in Christ that also challenges Christians to draw closer to Jesus by stimulating the reality of His redemption. Included in this album is Da Clay’s signature passion filled, worshiping, and “across the board” message which is heard predominantly in songs like “Falling’” featuring Tiffane’ Shante’ and “Transparency”. Although lyrics and life altering substance is vital it is good to know you can break your neck to head banging tracks like “Don’t Count Me Out” featuring Bridge-B, Raging Moses, and Ali-Ro, “Microscope”, and “Planters”. Henceforth, a song like “P31” uplifts the essence of the woman to narrow the lens of her truest definition.
