Clinton Davis Jr., Born and raised in Austin Texas, but spent the first seven years of my early childhood in Queens New York in Bland Projects. My father moved me back to Texas around eight years old and from then on I made occasional summer visits. I didnt see my father much as growing up due to working long nights as a Port Authority officer at the World Trade Center. On his seldom days off I spent time with him doing what he loved most, music. For years he worked hard for the family, so he wasn't able to pursue music like he wished.The fact that he couldn't, inspired me to fulfill out that goal since the age of 12. From then on I watched him closely and learned how to work equipment and started writing songs and poetry just like him.I told my father I planned to pursue music and go to college to learn more about business that I didnt learn from reading. Originally I planned it to be where once I graduated from college, he would be near retirement and we could start a music company together. Things were going according to plan until after my graduation in May 2001. September 11, 2001 my father tended to saving lives while at work due to terrorist attacks, suddenly my life changed. After days of searching for survivors in the 9-11-01 attack my father was announced deceased in one of the towers while escorting civilians. The pain and rage I felt at that moment isbeyond belief of an explanation. So now Im like "what now?" I was nearly going to give up on all my dreams and goals, and forget about what my father worked so hard for. I must become something in life and provide for my family in the future the same way he did for me. Standing around depressed wasn't going to help me succeed at all. With the support and encouragement of my mother I continued with the plan I set.2002 I started my own label and signed my artists, got a production team together, constructed a well-designed studio and a staff, and enrolled into Texas State University. My plan to take this industry by storm is underway. The loss of my father is my determination to show this nation I have what it takes to make this label one of the best constructed in history. My label consists of artists with versatility, creativity, and a work ethic like no other from Texas, along with the new profound billboard dominating southern sound. Im carrying out a promise and fulfilling a dream, and once we become the hottest in Texas, 2006 major labels will realize I mean business and failure is not an option. I call myself Checkmate because to me this career is just like chess. It takes timing and strategy to take over the board then the game is yours. 2006 Above All Entertainment "The New Era of the South" - Checkmate
