Clayton Joseph Chenier /aka/ Clifton Junior (C.J.) is Creole music royalty. His father, the legendary Clifton Chenier, invented the style of music we know today as Zydeco and was the first Creole musician to be recognized with a Grammy Award.
Raised in this indigenous American culture with its own distinctive language, cuisine and music, C.J. delivers soulful vocals along with jaw-dropping masterful accordion-driven Rock, Zydeco and Blues.He joined his father's band at age 21 and toured with them until being passed the torch as the new leader of the Red Hot Louisiana Band upon his father's death in 1987.
Since then, C.J. has released a slew of his own records with the band, was hand-picked by Paul Simon (alongside members of The Beatles) for his Grammy-nominated Rhythm of The Saints project in 1990, and continues to wow crowds around the world with sultry southern good time.
