For Gary Clark Jr. strapping on a guitar and stepping on stage is when he comes alive.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Gary Clark Jr., musician, saying (English):<br/> <br />"When I hit that stage and put the guitar on, it's go time. That's just when I feel most comfortable and I'm ready to rock."<br/> <br />The 28-year-old blues guitarist hails from Austin, Texas and has been a part of the established music scene for more than a decade.<br/> <br />The once shy performer is now a confident band leader and part mad scientist when it comes to creating new sounds.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Gary Clark Jr., musician, saying (English):<br/> <br />"I actually have a couple of rooms I call 'The Lab.' I've got drums and keys, turntables, then all my horns and all my guitars, anything, like all my instruments. I will sit there when I'm at home for hours and hours and hours and maybe, days, and just freak out in that room and see what happens."<br/> <br />Clark released his full-length album "Blak and Blu" in October.<br/> <br />His single "Bright Lights" will be featured in the promos and closing credits for a new series created by Nokia Music and the Sundance Channel.
