Probably one of the world's most famous DJ's for modern times. Famous enough to throw out the first pitch of a Mets game last week, for Apple to custom make a mac book with a specialized DJ AM logo and case, and for music software makers to custom make programs that allowed the guy to have special features to protect his mixes.
Myself and my friends had a chance to watch him spin at his Friday night gig at Rain in Las Vegas. He played with DJ Jazzie Jeff (yes, the guy from Fresh Prince) and the show was fairly amazing. My friends a DJ so we made the trip to the club to appease him.
...i tried to get all my friends back to Vegas, pretty much from the time we left in May and now we'll never see AM again.
He was a nice little jewish boy that made it big. $25k/night to play.
