While other children were reading comic books under their sheets, Clarence was tapping into late night college radio shows and CBC's Brave New Waves. This early exposure to the emerging world of electronic music was the start of a life long obsession. In his early teens, Clarence led an electronic pop cover band paying tribute to artists such as Talking Heads and Depeche Mode. It wasn't until 1996 that Clarence discovered his true passion for composing and producing music. Under the moniker DJ Lemon, he was one of the early purveyors of the drum'n'bass music scene in Vancouver (hosting the weekly spot "Airtight" at club Sonar and Chameleon). This gave him the opportunity to learn from some of the underground's premier DJs and producers such as LTJ Bukem and Roni Size.

In 1999, Clarence began producing soundtracks and scores for UBC film and theatre students eventually leading to production work at the Vancouver Fringe Festival as well as making jingles for Level Skate and Snow advertisements aired on 104.9XFM. In 2002 he started Bedroomstudio, a collective of vocalists and instrumentalists which fused jazz, rock, folk, and hip-hop with electronic beats and textures. In 2005, Bedroomstudio released a full length album entitled Submissions touted by Exclaim! magazine as being "the most 'now' CD to come out of Canada".

Clarence's most recent project with Jessica Vaira, True Fold, features Jessica's lyrics and vocals leading over jazz, rock, and latin grooves set to the rhythms and sounds of drum'n'bass, techno, and down-tempo. Like his favourite producers, Nellee Hooper and Stuart Price - who brought underground sounds to mainstream artists such as U2 and Madonna - Clarence strives to produce electronic music in forms accessible to the general public.

At his day job at Harman International, Clarence puts his Master of Engineering degree to work as an R&D Engineer. Through designing software for audio processing, Clarence has extensive knowledge of the science behind the tools used in the studio. Clarence devotes the rest of his time to recording and producing for a variety of singer/songwriters and continues to soundtrack for film and theatre productions. His most recent work includes a full length album Search Results and the New New Wave for Mike Soviet and sound design and sound track for a short film Kodiak
