About this Episode

Join us on this week's episode of Oldish as we welcome Clinton Sparks, a Grammy-nominated DJ, producer, father and entrepreneur. Hosts Brian, Sharna and Randy had an incredible time uncovering the journey of a boy from the streets of Boston who got caught up in crime at a young age but has since lived an extraordinary life, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry.

Clinton shared with the trio the lengths he went to to get noticed in the industry and how he transformed his struggles with exposure to domestic violence, sexual abuse, an alcoholic father, and crime into the fuel he needed to break these cycles and live a purposeful life aligned with his values. His achievements are nothing short of remarkable: hosting multiple radio shows, selling over 80 million records, and co-writing and producing with the best of the best including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Kanye West and Ludacris - to name a few. Recently, he co-founded XSET, an esports and lifestyle gaming organization – and he's only just begun!

Known for his infectious energy and remarkable creativity, Clinton brought that and more to our chat this week. Don't miss this inspiring episode – available now wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
