Clay Walker was born the oldest of five children of Ernest and Danna Walker. He was introduced to the guitar at the age of nine thanks to his father, and Clay started competing in local talent competitions at the age of 15. He went to Vidor High School, and worked as nighttime desk clerk at a Super 8 Motel while still at school. After matriculation in 1986, Walker toured as a musician, looking for the gigs, and finally found a job at the bar called the Neon Armadillo in Beaumont, Texas. The record producer, James Strout, found Walker in November 1992 and offered him deal with Giant Records, a part of Warner Music Group. Later that year, Walker signed his first professional contract, and his net worth was established.

In August 1993, Clay released his debut self-titled studio album, which peaked at No. 8 on the US Billboard Top Country Albums, No. 52 on US Billboard 200, and No. 2 on US Billboard Top Heatseekers, and achieved platinum status in both America and Canada. The singles “What’s It to You”, “Live Until I Die”, and “Dreaming with My Eyes Open” topped the US Country chart, which only increased his net worth by a large margin.
