Millard Clark

"By founding the first Native American recording label, Millard Clark remains a giant inspiration to this forever-active music scene. Nearly half a century after releasing the first recording on his Indian Sounds label, the wise man was still right on top of his form, conducting a panel for the National Indian Education Associaton on the subject of how young musicians are empowered to jump-start their careers through use of new recording technology. Clark is a giant presence in Native American music, one foot firmly planted in the past with his catalog of productions representing many different native musical traditions, and the other in the future courtesy of his progressive spirit and seemingly limitless energy."
