October
Sixteen
Born and raised in the Inland Empire (IE) of Southern California, October Sixteen is a hip-hop artist who knows how to weave a story into his music. His introspective lyrics explore the depths of his soul, while his vibrant delivery and soul-stirring beats take listeners on a journey they won't soon forget.
As a teenager, October Sixteen turned to rap to explore his journey from drug addiction to faith in God. Through years of practice and hard work, he honed his craft, producing mixtapes, EPs, and full-length albums that showcased his raw talent and unique perspective. Whether performing as part of a group named Deliberately Defiant or as a solo artist under his government name, Clint Lewis, October Sixteen's music was always about more than just entertainment – it was about telling his story.
And then one day, everything changed. October Sixteen had always known he was "born to rap," but it wasn't until he changed his name to his date of birth that he truly began to embody his destiny. The name became a symbol of his passion, his drive, and his unyielding commitment to his craft.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing for October Sixteen. Along the way, he faced more than his fair share of challenges. From repressed childhood trauma to overcoming drug addiction, he had to fight tooth and nail to overcome the obstacles that stood in his way. And yet, he persevered. He turned adversity into opportunity, and he emerged from every struggle stronger and more determined than ever.
Today, October Sixteen is a rising star in the hip-hop world. Influenced by Nas, the old Kanye, and Jay-Z, he has created a style that is all his own – one that is both consciously soulful and accessible to audiences across cultures. He has released a project every 6 months since October 2020. His 2020 EP, Little Virtues EP, Night Shift EP, Meditations EP, and Night Vision EP, are a testament to his talent, his vision, and his mastery of the art form.
