What is a clean vocalist?

A clean vocalist is a singer who uses a non-distorted vocal technique, as opposed to a harsh or guttural vocal style. Clean vocalists typically use their natural voice, without the use of distortion or effects, to produce clear and melodic sounds. This can include a wide range of vocal styles, from soft and gentle singing to powerful and dynamic performances. Clean vocalists are often found in genres such as pop, rock, country, R&B, soul, and jazz. Some examples of well-known clean vocalists include Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and John Mayer.
