Clayton Scott

For nearly two decades, Justin Franks helped other artists tell their stories. As the producer and songwriter DJ Frank E, the Fort Collins native earned credits on records for Eminem, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Flo Rida, Charlie Puth, Ed Sheeran, Madonna, and Lecrae - including the global hit “See You Again.” Clayton Scott is the story he kept for himself. Even the name is family: Clayton is his brother's middle name, Scott is his. After years behind the boards writing hooks for everyone else, Justin created Clayton Scott to help tell his own - losing people he loved, finding faith at his lowest point, marriage, fatherhood, and the long road back to hope. He writes every lyric and melody himself, and crafts songs the way he always has, now adding in new AI tools to give that voice a body. “Colorado Country” is his way of sharing his testimony, with a country touch tied to his family’s Texas roots. A producer’s whole life is service to someone else’s truth. This one’s his. My story, for His glory. — John 16:33
