Clayton Mann, 16, fronts REBELMANN® with a powerful voice that belies his age. Clayton entered the world on lucky number 9/9/99 in Chicago.
Since birth, Clayton has been surrounded by music. His father was born in Las Vegas. His paternal grandmother was an accomplished soprano singer, and his maternal grandparents were wildly into music, dance, and all things Elvis. With encouragement from his Papaw Doc, Clayton began singing Elvis tunes by the age of 3. Bit by the entertainment bug at a very early age, Clayton would have his older sister upload Elvis songs onto his IPod shuffle. Privately in his bedroom, Clayton would hone his tender entertainment skills by rehearsing the iconic singer’s tune, “Hound Dog.” Then, with his NASCAR IPod pillow neatly placed around his neck, Clayton would appear and entertain his family with his best musical Elvis impersonations.
Clayton has always boasted a powerful, gregarious voice and presence. The youngest of four children, Clayton's larger-than-life personality has been evident from a very early age. Would you ever believe a headline to read like this?

Beyond fronting REBELMANN with his older twin brothers, Johnathon and Bryce Mann, Clayton is also able to project his voice beyond the stage; he is able to do voice-overs of many cultural dialects in the Americana form. Clayton is also physically entertaining with a quick wit and wild sense of humor. He is famously happy and popular with his peers, as his outlook is always near jovial, matching his verbose and robust personality.
At the age of 10, and barely into 5th grade, Clayton began to exercise his musical prowess upon his parents. Inspired by the rock band KISS, Clayton walked to the library, at his own volition, and checked out the book, “KISS-Behind the Mask.” That same year, he stated in his year book, that he wanted to be a “band and a brand,” and began guitar lessons. He also plays bass guitar and cello. The book became extremely censored reading of minimal paragraphs with multiple pages being skipped, but nonetheless, Clayton understood he wanted to be . . . . . THE band!
With an understanding beyond his years, Clayton began studying both music, and his musical icons of the past: including Johnny Cash, B.B. King, and Billy Gibbons with Elvis Presley remaining his performance and entertainment standard. It is with this strong work ethic, that Clayton desires to perform and entertain.
Clayton is also an avid NASCAR® fan with Tony Stewart and the #9 car, Chase Elliott, being his favorite drivers. He is an absolute die-hard Chicago CUBS fan, and Bass-Pro-Shops aficionado as well as a certified golf caddy and novice golfer. He frequently studies cooking methods on his IPad, while listening to Johnny Cash on his vinyl record player. BBQing and baking are two of his favorites. Clayton is currently in the 10th grade, and home schooled through the University of Nebraska to meet his touring and recording schedules.
Clayton is famously happy, of great personality, extremely likable, follows instructions easily, coachable and fully cooperates.
Clayton Mann will bring it and is your Mann!
