Georgia Rising Star Clay James Becomes Brand Ambassador For Lyons Wine Founded By Chris Lyons

Clay James has been making a name for himself in the underground music scenes of Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia for quite some time. Clay is most known for his strong southern accent, witty wordplay, and dapper fashion sense. Since Clay was in college he’s been able to leverage his popularity to help build a number of brands in Atlanta. While attending Georgia State University he was a brand ambassador for Bliss Skate Company, Bomade Vodka, and Nanotech Cell Phone Watches. All of which became very popular brands on the college scene during Clay’s stent at their companies. It was in college where Chris Lyons and Clay James would meet and become friends. Both men are members of the Kappa Theta Chapter Of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated and they both started careers in the music industry while at Georgia State University. Chris Lyons was a talented producer and sound engineer who would eventually get a job at So So Def Studios working directly under legendary super producer Jermaine Dupri. Clay James’ buzz grew substantially, he caught the eye of hip hop legend Snoop Dogg, and received his first record deal with Doggystyle Records. Lyons was one of the first engineers to work with Clay and really believe in him as a artist. Nowadays Chris Lyons is still around the music industry but in a different way. He is a managing partner at Andreesen Horowitz and oversees their Cultural Leadership Fund. The Cultural Leadership Fund is Silicon Valley’s first venture capital fund consisting exclusively of Black cultural leaders and organizations committed to Black wealth generation. Not only is Lyons working with some of the biggest names in entertainment, tech, and sports with the CLF; he’s also developed his own wine “LYONS”. Lyons produces high quality wine made in Italy for a new generation of wine enthusiasts. All products are made in Emilia-Romagna, and sourced within northern Italy extending through the Apennine Mountains. Lyons is an Italian red sparkling wine with hints of intense dry cherry, and refreshing floral notes accompanied with fresh wild velvet and blackberry. Today, Chris Lyons has named Clay James Brand Ambassador at Lyons Wine. You can only expect big things with these two joining forces.
