The Beethoven of Today #3

A nightclub. Many of us under 18 have never had the experience of going to one, but we certainly see enough about it on  the television and internet to know what goes on. There's alcohol, dancing, and a general party atmosphere with complete strangers. Some would argue that the most vital part of a nightclub is the music, which, after all sets the tone for the entire club.
"DJ'ing", creating the music for these clubs is not an easy task, it requires a higher level understanding of the music and how sounds from different tracks and songs blend together and whether they sound harmonious together or discordant. It's a difficult thing to do even for someone skilled in music. So what if I told you one of the most respected and talented DJs is actually deaf?
DJ Robbie Wilde has been in Hewlett Packard advertisements, played at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, the Sundance Film Festival, and even New York Fashion Week. The only catch? He's completely deaf in his right ear and 80% deaf in his left. He works harder than all of his fellow DJ's to not only keep up, but excel in his career.
I think that Robbie Wilde shows exactly how far hard work and determination can get you. For someone who has everything against him, to be able to do what he does, create beautiful music, even when he can't hear it, is incredible. His story is a testament to those who are hoping to follow their dreams, as long as one works hard and never gives up, they can do anything, which may sound cheesy, but true. So to sum up this story in an even cheesier way:
