Sure, there are those DJs and artists who just seem to have horse shoes. Those who no matter what they do, seem to result in great success. Take, for instance, Kanye West who, despite ongoing bad publicity (or what most of us might consider to be bad publicity), still seems to hold the hearts fans everywhere … and the media’s attention … and at least one Kardashian’s interest. (Ok, I’m not quite sure about the merits of that last one).

Anyway, many, if not most, artists and DJs aren’t so lucky. They actually have to work really hard to get to that level where their music sells, their concerts sell out and their name is known even by people outside their particular genre.

So, as a bit of a reality check (and hopefully, inspiration) for all aspiring DJs out there, are the backstories that explain how 13 DJs got to where they are today. Read it here.
