Skrillex: Is a DJ worthy of 5 Grammy nods?

Really cool mini-doc about Skrillex/Sonny Moore.
Not my favorite electronica artist out there (by quite a bit) but I still found this very interesting.

pretty sure he wasn't nominated as a DJ.


You're right, he wasn't. However, this was the title for the video, and I don't think it's unfair to call him one.

He is a producer as well, obviously. I think by calling him a DJ, they are insinuating that an electronica artist being nominated for multiple awards is atypical...which it is.

sounds like they don't particularly know what they're talking about then, which is typical, as he can barely be called a DJ. i'm pretty sure he runs ableton and launches clips. at best he's in that weird gray area between being a DJ and a live PA artist but possibly neither.

Hes had such a fast rise to the top, it almost feels too fast.....how is he going to be able to sustain it? I mean, mental health wise?

Stories like his usually dont end well

Unfortunately, that's true. But from what I hear, he is (still) a super nice guy.
