A fan video made for Clark.
Clark Alan Baxtresser was born on the 19th of August, 1988. He grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan with his older brother, Dean, his mother, Gretchen and his father, Robert. Gretchen was a music teacher in the Ann Arbor public school system.
Clark graduated from the Pionner High School in 2006. He then attended the University of Michigan and graduated in 2010. While attending UoM, he met the now popular theatre group, Team Starkid through one of their plays, 'Me and My Dick'. Many members of Starkid call him 'Cool Clark' and he is known as the 'musical badass', despite really not being bad at all.
Clark is extremely tall with dark brown hair and olive tanned skin. He has been described as the most 'supermegafoxyawesomehot' member of Starkid by Meredith Stepien and Lauren Lopez.
Clark currently lives in Brooklyn, New York in a flat with his fellow band member / best friend, Pierce Siebers.
Clark is a music director, keyboard/piano player and songwriter for Team Starkid. Aside from Starkid, Clark is in Jim and The Povolos, and a band called TalkFine that is a duo with Pierce Siebers.
TalkFine are quite successful in Brooklyn and have most recently been recieving a lot of attention for their 'House Of Cards' sitcom spoof song which can be found on their YouTube channel. Pierce and Clark have known each other since they were very young and started writing songs together in high school. Their retro-electric pop music is extremely quirky and will make you want to move your feet!
TalkFine released their first music video for their song 'She Never'[1] on the 18th of December 2012. Since then it has recieved over 13 thousand views! On May 12th 2014, TalkFine also released another video for popular single, 'Dance Like This'[2]. The video featuring many talented Brooklyn dancers and great CGI was directed by Liann Kaye. The next music video released was 'One in a Million' which was written for the Starkid Star Wars Parody, 'Ani'. Their latest music vid was long overdue and from one of their first hits 'The Water's Gettin' Too Hot' which the video was released on July 6th 2015. Since then a few other music videos have been uploaded along with many covers and live versions of their songs.
