Clifton’s Aspirations Expand

Creating his own music has been Greg Clifton’s lifelong pursuit.
Now, he wants to help others produce theirs.
“It’s more lucrative that way,” said Clifton, a psychedelic Christian musician and longtime employee at Sounds Great CD store on Gall Boulevard.
A Dade City resident, Clifton, 29, recently formed JClif Productions with friend and musician Joey Palminteri of Zephyrhills, a student at the International Academy of Design & Technology in Tampa.
“It’s a music-production business,” Clifton said. “We’re just taking what we’ve learned over the years and putting our heads together.”
Clifton has performed with various Christian acts over the years and has recorded a solo album, “Turn To Dust.”
Palminteri, 23, a guitarist, said he has made lots of contacts through school, playing music and attending concerts around the region. He has a recording studio in his home and has helped produce a couple of Clifton’s solo songs.
“We don’t have any particular artists in mind that we want to work with,” Palminteri said. “We’re looking for acts in the Tampa Bay area; they could be rock, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, whatever. But it’s going to be quality. If we’re going to do hip-hop, it’s not going to have (foul language) every other word.”
Tom Ousley, 22, of Zephyrhills, who specializes in live sound production and advertising, works with Clifton and Palminteri; he also has attended the International Academy in Tampa.
Besides recording and distributing music, the fledgling label will be able to produce live shows, offer session musicians and equipment rental, even music lessons.
Their unofficial motto: “You play it, we tape it,” Clifton said.
