R.I.P DJ AM "Crack Head"


Smoke Crack and die! Just like Dj*Am

Adam Goldstein was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania into a Jewish family. As a child, his father verbally abused him, which Goldstein called "unbelievably cruel." He later found out his father was secretly gay and addicted to drugs.[1] His father was sent to jail for committing bank fraud and later died from AIDS.[2] He began taking drugs, so his mother placed him in a treatment center that specialized in “tough love.”
When Goldstein was 20 years old, he started deejaying, which he'd been obsessed with since seeing Herbie Hancock do the song “Rockit” at the Grammy Awards. He started going to AA meetings again and distanced himself from friends who were still using drugs. "By then, I was booking jobs at every major club and had started to gain a following," he told Glamour magazine. [3]
Goldstein was a member of the rock band Crazy Town, known for their hit "Butterfly". He has also scratched on albums for Papa Roach, Madonna, Will Smith, and Shifty and played concerts with Jay-Z. He has played private events for celebrities like Jim Carrey, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Stiller, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Kate Hudson.[4] He had had a one-year contract with Las Vegas' Pure Nightclub inside Caesar's Palace to play at the venue every Friday and to open a nightclub at Caesars Atlantic City called Dusk.[5]
