R&B artist Rod Clemmons releases new music video for "What's Up? It's Me"

LOS ANGELES - March 21, 2018 - PRLog -- Rod Clemmon's latest single "What's Up? It's Me" is a profoundly personal musical experience. Currently charting on the FMQB charts, "What's Up? It's Me" showcases Rod's talent, lets his artistic vision shine and paves the way for the music video. Rod has been blind since birth, and the video provides insight into the people and environment that molded him.

"The song, "What's Up? It's Me," is a metaphor. The verses are as if my late father can speak to me from heaven, and the choruses are a back and forth between the two of us," says Rod of the inspiration for writing "What's Up? It's Me.

The music video for "What's Up? It's Me" is an even more intimate experience than the single. Featuring early concert footage of Rod playing the piano, personal photos of his childhood and family, and recreations of the nurturing moments in his relationship with his father the video sheds light onto the amazing upbringing that allowed Rod to become the musician he is today.
