Clayton Hartfield, born and raised in Dallas, Texas, on July 21, 1987, developed a passion for music, particularly rap, from the early age of 4. His entrepreneurial journey began with launching a printing and design business focused on clothing and other apparel.

In 2013, Clayton faced a life-altering challenge when he lost his right eye. Instead of letting this setback define him, he became even more determined to succeed as an entrepreneur. Refusing to let anyone "Kount Him Out", Clayton channeled his resilience into building his brand, Don't Kount Me Out. This powerful statement of perseverance became a trademarked brand and a registered LLC.

Clayton successfully operated his own studio and printing shop, passionately pursuing his dreams until his untimely passing in 2023. He deeply loved his music, his business, and most of all, his family. His legacy of passion, determination, and love lives on, inspiring others to carry on his vision.
