“When you compete with yourself, you can only get better. When you compete with others, then you are only aiming to be better than their best, which may never be as good as yours.” That’s the first thing you’ll read when you hop on over to the very first page of Clinton Sparks’ official website. That life mantra is one that everyone should abide by and believe in since it’s done wonders for Sparks’ prodigious career thus far. As the co-founder and co-owner of esports organization XSET, Sparks is making huge strides towards including more diversity within the professional gaming space.

When you hear about all the roles and accolades attached to Sparks’ name, you’ll quickly come to recognize him as a modern-day renaissance man - as described by The Esports Observer, Sparks “is a Grammy-nominated, multi-award winning hip hop songwriter and producer, DJ, TV and radio host, serial entrepreneur, Twitch content creator, author, and marketing wiz who clawed his way out of poverty.”

Sparks’ musical accomplishments are many - he once went on tour with Diddy as his personal DJ, produced the lead single off The Notorious B.I.G.’s Duets: The Final Chapter album & earned his first platinum record, and collaborated with major artists such as Kanye West & Eminem. On the entrepreneurial front, Clinton Spark Enterprises oversees Get Familiar Inc., Get Familiar Radio, Get Familiar Tech, Esports Technologies, and XSET. A recent partnership with Twitch resulted in the creation of his famed music and show business series, WIN BIG with Clinton Sparks. Sparks’ newly published self-help book, How to Win Big in the Music Business, offers the proper steps needed to prosper within the industry he knows like the back of his hand.
