==LifePersonal life==
Clinton Cerejo was born into an academically inclined family with no known musical background. His father was an engineer at [[Larsen & Toubro|L&T]] and his mother is a French professor. His elder brother is a software professional and his younger sister is an editor for medical journals in the [[United States]]. He completed his [[B.Com|graduation in Commerce]] from [[List of colleges in Mumbai#Top 5 Commerce Colleges|Poddar College]] in Mumbai and was on his way to pursue a degree in [[M.B.A]] before his friends convinced him of his musical talent.
 
During his younger days, he was influenced by great producers such as [[Quincy Jones]], [[Trevor Horn]], [[Arif Mardin]], [[Stevie Wonder]], [[Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds|Babyface]], [[Hugh Padgham]], [[Peter Gabriel]], [[Roland Orzabal]], and [[Roy Thomas Baker]]. Clinton married [[Dominique Cerejo]], who was his college friend and is now an established singer.

During his younger days, he was influenced by great producers such as [[Quincy Jones]], [[Trevor Horn]], [[Arif Mardin]], [[Stevie Wonder]], [[Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds|Babyface]], [[Hugh Padgham]], [[Peter Gabriel]], [[Roland Orzabal]], and [[Roy Thomas Baker]].
 
Clinton married [[Dominique Cerejo]], who was his college friend and is now an established singer.
 
==Career==
During his time at college, he would often have [[jam session]]s with his friend [[Siddharth Haldipur]] (of music director duo ''Sangeet-Siddharth'' fame). It was on one such session that [[Amar Haldipur]] (Siddharth's father), who is a famous arranger and violinist, noticed Clinton and took a liking to his voice. Amar introduced Clinton to Anand Modak, the music director of a Marathi film ''Mukta'' and soon he was performing his first song in a recording studio. It was an English song for a Marathi film, picturised on an African-American.
 
After a series of sporadic recordings, he started lending his voice to many [[Music in advertising|advertisement jingles]]. During this period he worked with [[Shankar-Ehsaan-LoyShankar–Ehsaan–Loy]], Lezz Lewis, [[Ranjit Barot]] & Louis Banks. Some of his contemporaries at that time were [[Krishnakumar Kunnath|KK]] and [[Kunal Ganjawala]], who went on to become playback singers. Clinton and Kunal sang a lot of jingles together.
 
Realizing that his voice was not versatile enough to be a successful jingle singer, he started looking at other areas of interest.
