We talk about the difference between having a big moment and building something that lasts, why artists need to stay true to themselves, how the industry has changed with TikTok and content culture, and what it really takes to balance touring, studio time, family, health, and ambition.

Sam Divine - The Truth About Rehab, Sobriety & The Dark Side of DJ Life

Sign up for intellijend now: https://go.intellijend.com/will-clarke Sam Divine joins Will Clarke for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast. Sam opens up about her early days in Ibiza, the reality of being a female DJ in house music, 20 years of touring, burnout, grief, addiction, rehab, sobriety, faith and rebuilding her life from the inside out. This conversation goes deep into the parts of dance music people rarely talk about: the pressure to keep going, the hidden cost of touring, the normalisation of alcohol and drugs, the financial reality of being an artist, and what happens when the lifestyle that once gave you freedom starts to take something from you. Sam also talks about her new chapter, her 555 concept, returning to grassroots clubs, falling back in love with DJing, and why this next era of her career feels more authentic than ever. This is a conversation about music, survival, friendship, Ibiza, recovery and remembering why we started in the first place. ⏲ Follow Will Clarke ⏱ https://willclarke.komi.io/ https://djwillclarke.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OmOdgwIzub8DYPxQYbbbi?si=hEx8GCJAR3mhhhWd_iSuew https://www.instagram.com/djwillclarke https://www.facebook.com/willclarkedj https://twitter.com/djwillclarke https://www.tiktok.com/@djwillclarke Hosted on Acast.
