Though the name Clayton Haslop is by no means a household name, his artistry as a violinist has been enjoyed by millions through his work as concertmaster and solo violinist on numerous highly successful films and soundtracks. Amongst them are Avatar, Titanic (James Horner, composer), Ratatouille, Up (Michael Giacchino, composer), The Matrix quadrilogy (Don Davis, composer), and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Alexander Desplat, composer). Concurrent with this activity have been stints as concertmaster of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, The Los Angeles Opera, and many other ensembles around the United States.

Coming from a musically minded family, Clayton began the study of violin at age 8 and, at 20, was invited by Sir Neville Marriner to give 6 enthusiastically received performances around California as soloist with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. Other early accomplishments included being accepted as a private student by legendary 20th century violinist Nathan Milstein, an experience that influenced his artistic development for many years.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending how one looks at it, life as a first-call Hollywood recording artist and freelance concert violinist was not to last. In his late 30’s Mr. Haslop began noticing small, aberrant movements in the ring finger of his left hand. Over time, as the loss of control became increasingly unmanageable, it became clear that the issue was a neurological “over use” injury known as Focal Dystonia, or FD.

How Clayton managed to overcome this all too frequently career ending development is the primary focus of discussion in upcoming interview. It is a fascinating story with a surprising ending, I think, that will interest many of our listeners.

Over the past 25 years I have worked in front of camera as an actor, built several businesses as an aspiring entrepreneur, and invested in real estate across the country which allowed me the freedom to keep growing and exploring.  

Over the past decade of my life I made a significant shift, and dedicated myself to discovering what kind of artist I want to be in life, and what it is I would create if profit wasn’t the motivating purpose. That is when Re/creation Cafe was born. I discovered that people and places are my art, and I wanted to create spaces where people can connect more authentically through creative social experiences that encourage adults to play more. I spent the next several years curating events around this idea, and eventually decided to dedicate everything I have to building a space for people to share in these types of creative social experiences on a regular basis.

Construction on Re/creation Cafe started in 2017, and lasted until March of 2024. Re/creation Cafe is now open to the public, and offers the community breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as live music, live painting, and many more experiences that remind us all to keep playing.

Cloe is a singer/songwriter and angelic frequency channeler. She loves to use her voice as medicine, transmitting codes of healing as she performs in both live and studio environments. Her music is infused with messages of unconditional love, self-love and inner child healing.

Cloe previously ran a successful YouTube channel garnering 6.5 million subscribers, but took a step away from her role as an influencer to submerge herself in the world of songwriting and develop her skills as a vocalist and musician.  She still uses her YouTube channel to share content related to music, such as her “Story of a Song” series, which are in-depth short documentaries about the process of creating each of her songs.

She also loves to produce and direct music videos and bring her music to life visually. As much as the world of video creation will forever be a passion, music has always been her greatest joy and she’s so excited to finally be stepping into this artistic expression.
