MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (WV News) — For Cody Clayton Eagle, fate works in mysterious ways. The 19-year-old Morgantown native is preparing for big things.

He will be touring throughout the tri-state area for the remainder of the year, and likely into the next. He’s negotiating with a record label and is expected to sign the contract soon. There are self-released songs available on Spotify. There’s a fan base that knows who he is and eagerly awaits what’s next.

Cody, a phenomenally talented singer songwriter, worked his way through all of the levels of auditioning to be the next American Idol and now has a one way golden ticket to Hollywood! This past week here at AWG, Cody was able to take a moment out of his increasingly busy schedule to pay us a visit at our home office. He was accompanied by his wonderfully supportive mother and father, who emanated an immense amount of pride for their son and his accomplishments. Cody was gracious enough to sit down in our showroom and play a few tunes, which was a well appreciated treat for us during our work day. The pride his parents felt is 100% warranted as I can confidently say, Cody has a serious set of pipes on him!
