This week on Bad For The Community, we’re joined by our brother and Boston’s own Clark D, making his return to the pod after some major life moves. Last time we spoke, Clark had just moved to Atlanta to chase his dreams as a musician and engineer. Now he’s back with Grammy-winning credits, major label experience, and a powerful story on overcoming personal struggle to fulfill your God-given purpose.
We talk about his experience in ATL, the darker side of the industry, and the moment he realized God was calling him to refocus on his own music. From working with major and independent labels to investing in his own career as an independent artist, Clark opens up about the lessons, the setbacks, and the mentality it takes to reach the top of music’s mountaintop!
