dalsh327 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 This can be any thing related to music or not, but using their fame and money into something that worked out well for them. Could be something that led to them getting out of music and turning it into a full time career. Sometimes you hear about someone sinking money into epic failures and bad investments, but wanted to do a thread on the successes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not really the same, but Sonny Moore started out as the singer in an emo band called From First to Last and now he's widely known as Skrillex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not really the same, but Sonny Moore started out as the singer in an emo band called From First to Last and now he's widely known as Skrillex.He put his time in with bands, he's played festivals, he's DJ'ed, he creates music that people dance or spaz out to *L* , and he seems driven to succeed. Will that make him a Grammy winning producer and be finding talent that will also make him money in time? I'd keep an eye on him and see what happens. At 25, too early to tell. In 5 years, maybe. There's also scoring movie soundtracks that could put him in the running for an Oscar. Yes, he made a transition into an in-demand DJ that gets paid way more than having stayed with the band. They should take a DNA test... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
