Our guest today is my new friend…. DJ Clinton Sparks
Clinton began his career as a DJ on Boston’s Hot 97.7 in 2000. From there, he expanded his popular Smashtime radio show by self syndicating it to other radio stations which included Hot 93.7 in Connecticut and 92Q in Baltimore. The success and popularity of his radio show earned him multiple radio awards from East Coast Radio DJ of the year to Mixshow Radio DJ of the year at the annual Mixshow Power Summit, which was the Grammy’s for DJ’s in the early 2000’s.
He collaborated on projects with artists such as Kanye West, Eminem, Lil’Jon, 50 Cent and Talib Kweli. These projects earned him recognition and a mixtape award at the annual Justo’s Mixtape Awards in New York City.
Clinton discovered and signed a French DJ by the name of DJ Snake. Together they produced platinum records and worked with everyone from T-Pain, Pitbull, Tyrese, Plies and Lady Gaga. Inevitably, Clinton would introduce Snake to Lil’Jon and that relationship would later produce one of the biggest records of 2014, “Turn Down For What.
Clinton wrote and produced his first Billboard charting record for Akon titled, “Sorry, Blame it on Me” which entered the charts at #7. He also produced the single “Down In Tha Dirty” by Ludacris featuring Rick Ross and Bun B and was featured in the music video.
In 2019, Clinton became CEO and co-founder of Get Familiar Tech and welcomed his daughter Sofi Sparks into the world.

In 2020, Clinton invested in and became Head of Business Development for a new start up social sports betting app called, FanUp. He also officially launched his marketing firm, Get Familiar, Inc. On July 16th, Clinton announced his new esports and lifestyle gaming brand, XSET which he co-founded and co-owns with partners Greg Selkoe, Wil Eddins, and Marco Mereu via a feature in The New York Times.
