Clark was born and raised in [[Buffalo, New York]]. Self-taught, Clark stood out in the Buffalo music scene and was often compared to the next [[Ani DiFranco]]. She met Buffalo folk legend and [[Righteous Babe Records]] artist [[Michael Meldrum]]. It was through him and his encouragement she learned more about working within the music industry as an independent musician. In high school, she enrolled in the internship program at Atomic Gardens Recording Studio. Between working part-time at a record store and the internship, she saved enough to record her first album.
In 1998, Clark was diagnosed with an immunity disorder, [[immune thrombocytopenia]] (ITP), a condition in which an abnormally low [[platelet|platelet count]] is present, putting her at risk for serious bleeding and bruising.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111018094124/http://popwreckoning.com/2007/12/18/music-saves-lives-by-stacy-clark/]</ref> After multiple hospital visits, Clark turned to music as she was no longer allowed to play contact sports. After treatment, Clark attended [[Buffalo State College]] studying [[Art]] and was captain of the ladies [[soccer team]].<ref>[https://archive.is/20130119010129/http://www.buffalo.com/entertainment/blog/stacy-clark-keeps-making-moves/ ]
At 19, Clark booked and embarked solo on her first two-month-long U.S. national tour playing coffee shops, [[Cornerstone Festival]] and bars. In 2002, she graduated with a degree in [[Art]] from the [[State University of New York at Plattsburgh]]. She was a featured guest on [[PSTV (SUNY Plattsburgh)|Plattsburgh State Television]], a late night show hosted by [[Dave Annable]]. Clark hosted an open mic on campus were fellow students, including [[Owen Benjamin]] performed.
