Those DJs are under a tremendous amount of pressure. So much so that they are consistently under both physical and mental pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Avicii had to retire at the age of 26 after developing at least one unfortunate addiction. Moby is touring North America promoting a book he just published that outlines his own struggles with his personal demons.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the recent spate of DJ confessions about what they got involved with and how they managed to get out, is Chuckie&#8217;s answer to the whole problem.<\/p>\n<p>Chuckie, aka Clyde Sergio Narain, takes a tough love approach to those DJs who&#8217;ve had issues. He tells them to &#8220;man up.&#8221; He argues that a lot of DJs who suddenly find fame just don&#8217;t like to work hard or accept the fact that with fame comes a lot of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>I think he&#8217;s right on a certain level. When your entourage is telling you how great you are, it&#8217;s easy to get caught up in that and develop an attitude of entitlement. But, it&#8217;s also easy to pass judgment and tell other DJs that they have to be smart about touring.
