Dutch pop musician and producer Alain Clark is one of the nominees for 3FM awards 2010. De 3FM Awards is the audience prize for Dutch musicians. The award ceremony will take place on April 15, 2010.

Alain wrote his first songs in Dutch, releasing his first album, Alain Clark, in 2004 with the hits “Heerlijk” and “Ringtone.” In 2007 he released the double platinum album Live it Out. Inspired by a friend’s comment, the album’s biggest hit is “Father and Friend,” an emotional ballad in which Clark duets with his Dutch Caribbean father Dane Clark, a veteran of a covers band, Dane and the Dukes of Soul, that play classics from the likes of Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, and James Brown.
