Clay Cook is one of the most popular and richest Songwriter who was born on April 20, 1978 in United States, United States. Songwriter and producer who joined Zac Brown Band in January of 2009 as a high tenor vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. He was previously most well known for his collaborations with John Mayer, co-writing songs that would appear on Mayer’s albums Inside Wants Out and Room for Squares. He and Mayer also formed a duo called Lo-Fi Masters.

He and Zac Brown Band won a Grammy Award in the category of Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for the song “As She’s Walking Away,” which was performed with Alan Jackson.

Clay Cook attended Smoke Rise Elementary, Tucker High School, and is a graduate of South Gwinnett High School in Snellville, Georgia in 1996. Following this, Cook enrolled at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. While there, Cook met fellow student and singer-songwriter John Mayer. The two of them formed the duo known as Lo-Fi Masters, putting 5 of their songs on an eponymous demo tape which was made at Berklee.

In March 1998 after two years, Cook made the decision to leave Berklee with his bandmate, John Mayer, to move their duo to Atlanta, Georgia, as he was a Georgia native and was aware of the music scene in the city. They began their career in earnest there, quickly making a name for the two-man band. They frequented the local coffeehouse and club circuit in venues including Atlanta’s famous venue Eddie’s Attic. On their writing partnership, Cook said, “Even back then, my role was more like that of a producer and John was the writer. I’d give input to clean up the rough edges and help him get his vision of the song more clear. For instance, he might have written six verses to a song, and I’d help him get it down to three.” Cook and Mayer wrote songs in Atlanta which later appeared on Mayer’s record Room for Squares, including: “No Such Thing”, “Love Song for No One”, and “Neon”. Due to musical and creative differences, the two eventually parted ways. Cook moved to California to work in a music shop and later joined the Marshall Tucker Band. Since then he has released two albums of solo material while playing with bands. His albums are entitled The Year I Grew Up and On Mountain Time. Cook has also played with Sugarland and Shawn Mullins.

He and his wife Brooke welcomed a son named Charlie in 2016.
