Josh Clayton-Felt

Josh Clayton-Felt was an American singer-songwriter and former member of the band School of Fish. He grew up outside of Boston, MA., and went to high school at the Cambridge School of Weston.

Clayton-Felt released an album independently in 1994, and landed a deal with A&M Records in 1996. His album "Inarticulate Nature Boy" scored airplay on college radio and led to a tour with Tori Amos. The record did not sell well and Clayton-Felt was dropped; he had been writing a follow-up record, to be titled "Center of Six", which he continued to work on in 1998 and 1999 with session drummer Steve Scully.

In December 1999, while still writing for the album, Clayton-Felt was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He died at the age of 32 on January 19, 2000. In 2002, Dreamworks Records released a collection of songs from the unfinished "Center of Six" sessions; Talking Cloud Records also released an album under this name in 2003.
