Veteran producer Robert E. Clark, Jr. and multi-talented songwriter/composer Madli Kents are The Clark Kents. This dynamic production duo derives their moniker from the combination of their last names, but you can consider their music to be super just the same. 

Clark hails from Brooklyn, New York while Kents is a native of Estonia. The two met in 2009 while separately waiting for friends at an NYC restaurant. After striking up a conversation, the two formed a fast friendship and in about two months realized their mutual affinity for melody and beats; and became production partners. 

Under the name “Cuzin Bawb,” Clark has lent his skill for programming snappy drums and precisely selected samples for artists in the heralded Duck Down Records Hip-Hop family, including Heltah Skeltah (“I Ain’t Havin’ That”) and Da Representativez. Clark, a former head of Creative Services/Production at CBS Radio, is also an accomplished radio production producer and is responsible for numerous jingles and cues at the station. He was recognized as a winner of a NYSBA (New York State Broadcasters) Award for Outstanding Commercial. 

Madli Kents is a classically trained composer who also happens to be a certified audio engineer. Literally born into music (her mother is a music teacher and composer, her father builds, restores and tunes organs for a living). She has worked extensively overseas in her native Estonia, utilizing her knack for arranging vocal harmonies, singing back up vocals and writing lyrics for other artists. From original orchestral compositions to Pop tunes, she handles all with equal aplomb. 

“I like to put my ideas down fast, get the arrangement done and then we'll browse thru instruments to find the right sound,” says Madli. “Bobby takes over when it's time for percussions and drums. I dont recall ever having a serious creative disagreement, we bounce ideas off of each other and have a great synergy.” 

The Clark Kents' synergistic combination of talents means they are able to deliver a wide- ranging assortment of infectious, alluring and aurally intoxicating music, all to the client’s specific needs. Contributing the theme to the upcoming SWAT 2 film from Sony Pictures is only one example of their wide range of clientele that includes anyone from recording artists to television shows. 

“We are committed to being a full service company,” says Clark. “Songs for artists, advertising music for television and radio, film placement and score music...with our backgrounds and combined skill sets, we are prepared to deliver it all.” 

Blessed with an expert understanding of the art of music production that can be catered to the most specific of clientele, no disguises or capes are necessary—the Clark Kents always deliver.
