Klayton (born Scott David Albert; June 17, 1969) is an American multi-instrumentalist and singer based in Los Angeles, California. He has led several electronic/industrial bands and has performed under a variety of stage names since the early 1990s. His current projects are Celldweller, Scandroid, Circle of Dust and FreqGen.

== Early life == Albert grew up in an Italian-American conservative Christian household in New York, where he attended church with his younger brother Dan and friends Buka and Klank (who would collaborate with him on a number of future music projects). Albert never had formal training on an instrument, instead picking up whatever interested him and learning it himself. He graduated from Farmingdale High School. He took one semester of music theory in college but dropped out, explaining that "all they wanted to tell me is what I could and couldn't do according to the laws of music and I couldn't have cared less." He eventually led to characterizing himself as being a "jack of all trades, master of none" when it came to musical instruments. The first of these instruments was the drums.
