Today marks one year since the death of DJ AM.

His talent was a gift to the music industry and he’s sorely missed.

I had the pleasure of hearing him play for the first time in 2005 at the EMI Post Grammy party at The Beverly Hills Hotel where he threw it down.

I recall watching his GONE TOO FAR addiction series on MTV shortly after his death and being struck by how honest and caring his cause was. It was very hard to watch knowing his fate. His heart was focused on other peoples recovery and you could FEEL his conviction.

I hope that his contribution to the music industry is always commemorated.
