City Wolf was born in a small downtown Los Angeles apartment in the summer of 2018. Clayton Stroope, a former VH1 You Oughta Know artist and the vocalist and songwriter of the US Gold selling, Top 40 charting piano-based pop band Thriving Ivory, wanted to stretch his legs and take a departure from the familiar. Through collaborations with Tim Meyers, TheUnder, Easy McCoy, Wicks, he has sharpened his pop-song penmanship and is making waves in the LA music scene.
