Mike Clark Jr. Signs with Atlantic Records & Drops Soulful New EP

Young powerhouse vocalist Mike Clark Jr. celebrates signing with Atlantic Records, marking a major milestone in his burgeoning 2025 music career, blending timeless R&B with Southern soul.

From the heart of Macon, GA to the global stage, a Southern soul star is rising.

Mike Clark Jr., the 19-year-old powerhouse vocalist blending timeless R&B with Southern soul, has officially signed with Atlantic Records, marking a major milestone in one of 2025’s most exciting breakout careers.

The announcement dropped alongside his brand-new EP on June 17, a project Clark describes as “real Southern soul music with an R&B flair.” Each track feels like a page from his journal, grounded in faith, pain, love, and a voice that reaches both heaven and the heart.

"This isn’t just a win for me—it’s a win for Macon, for my family, for the sound that raised me,” Clark shared.

Raised singing in church and drawing from the deep musical history of the South, Mike Clark Jr. brings something raw and refreshing to the modern music scene. His voice—rich, emotional, and unfiltered—has already earned him millions of TikTok views and landed him at #2 on Apple Music’s Blues chart.

But behind the rise is real-life resilience. Clark recently lost his sister, who he called his “best friend and biggest supporter.” Through grief, he’s kept moving forward, channeling his emotions into music and prayer. He’s currently working on a tribute track called “Your Love”, expected to resonate deeply with fans and new listeners alike.

"I wanted people to feel what I feel when I sing. To hear the church in my voice, the South in my soul.”

The Atlantic Records partnership is more than just a label deal—it’s a gateway to a bigger vision. Industry vets like Mr. Collipark, Ray, and Snap have been instrumental in shaping his path, and now, the stage is set for Clark to go national—and global.

If this EP is the prelude, the full-length project in the works promises to be the main event.

Why this matters:In an era of over-produced pop and short-lived fame, Mike Clark Jr. brings soul back to the spotlight. He’s a reminder that authenticity, heritage, and heart still matter in music—and that the industry is hungry for it.
