Clay Aiken BIO

Clay Aiken returns to Broadway ten years after his critically lauded debut in Monty Python's Spamalot. On the heels of "American Idol," he became the first artist in history to have his first single debut at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. His subsequent album, "Measure of A Man," also debuted at #1 with the highest first week sales by a debut artist. His 2004 holiday release, "Merry Christmas with Love," set a record for the fastest selling holiday album of the SoundScan era and remains tied for the highest charting debut of a holiday album in Billboard history. He served 9 years as a UNICEF Ambassador and, in 2003, he co-founded, with Diane Bubel, what is now the National Inclusion Project to advocate and increase opportunities for children with disabilities to be included in extracurricular activities (such as summer camps and after-school programs) with their non-disabled peers.
