DJ Fat Tony's Road to Redemption: From Club Icon to Sober Advocate

You can party and live your life to the fullest without alcohol and drugs, and if you are struggling, reach out and talk to someone.
What happens when the life of the party hits rock bottom? In this gripping episode of 'Sober Sips', Emily Syphas sits down with DJ Fat Tony, a name synonymous with the glitz and glamour of the 80s London club scene. Known for spinning tracks for legends like Prince, Madonna, and Michael Jackson, Tony's career was soaring—until it wasn't.
After nearly three decades of battling alcohol and drug addiction, he found himself at a crossroads that led to six months in rehab and a commitment to sobriety. Today, Tony is back in the limelight, but this time with a renewed purpose and passion for music that doesn't require substances to shine.
He opens up about his early days of drinking, the struggles he faced during his initial steps towards sobriety, and how he navigates sober socializing in an industry drenched in temptation. The conversation also delves into the unique challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, offering a candid look at how Tony has managed to stay on track during these trying times.
This episode is a raw and inspiring testament to the power of resilience and the importance of seeking help when needed. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Tony's story serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around.
