CLAYTON ROBERTS received his Bachelor of Music Degree from Utah State University and Master's Degree from the University of Houston. He began developing his music talent by studying piano at the age of 8 and organ at the age of 15. Prior to undergraduate study, Clayton studied organ with Ethelyn Peterson and piano with Mallie Riecken, both of Las Vegas. While working on his Master's Degree he was under the tutelage of Dr. Robert Bates.

As a young emerging organist, Clayton has been featured in solo recitals throughout the United States and in Europe and has performed with orchestras in venues such as the Mormon Tabernacle on Temple Square and Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah.

He has been honored to compete in and earn accolades at various competitions such as the Albert Schweitzer Organ Competition (2nd place) and the Miami International Organ Competition (3rd place).

In addition to his duties at Saint John Vianney Catholic Church in Houston, Texas, where he is Associate Director of Music and Principal Organist, Mr. Roberts continues to develop his other musical interests in harpsichord, choral conducting, and composition. Before joining the staff at Saint John Vianney in May 2011, he was the organist at Zion Lutheran Church and held a similar position at Saint Michael's Catholic Church, both in Houston, Texas.
