Barclay Macbride Crenshaw (born July 7, 1971), who is known by the stage name Claude VonStroke, is an American house producer based in Los Angeles.

[8] Barclay Macbride Crenshaw was born in Cleveland, Ohio and lived there until he was in seventh grade.

"[14] Notable artists from the label include Justin Martin, Steve Darko, Walker & Royce, and Green Velvet.

In 2014, Claude began collaborating with Green Velvet (another veteran artist who grew up in the Mid-West), to form a side project known as Get Real.

Claude has stated, “Nobody is trying to steal the spotlight or take over the project which isn’t always the case in a duo.

His self-titled debut album kicked off his "left-field departure from his better-known alias, Claude VonStroke" by delivering "slowed-down, emotive collection of collaborations and instrumentals" or otherwise touted as 'alien hip hop music'.
