EP:040 Spinning Records to Sobriety: Kelly Reverb's Life Story
Ever been fascinated by the thrilling world of DJing and the music industry? Ever wondered about the challenges and the highs that come with it? Join us as we sit down with Kelly Reverb, a seasoned DJ from Dallas, Texas, who offers a unique perspective on this world. Kelly, who started his journey at the world-renowned Bill's Records, walks us through his musical voyage, his experiences with his group Southside Reverb, Hard Kiss Brothers, and the lost skill of DJs today.
We continue the conversation, shedding light on the dark side of the music industry that often goes unnoticed. Kelly opens up about his struggle with addiction, the impact of drugs and alcohol on his life, and how he found solace in podcasting during his recovery. His transformation from a raver to a DJ, getting signed to a record label, and his track being featured in a film are just a few highlights of his journey. Kelly also discusses the importance of destigmatizing addiction, a subject that affects people from all walks of life.
Kelly's journey doesn't stop at overcoming addiction. We explore his life post-recovery, the tools that aided him in his journey, and the lessons he learned. He shares how sobriety has improved his relationship with his wife and how he managed his mother's passing and being the executor of her estate. He also delves into the importance of finding one's purpose and offers insights on how to change the world. This episode is a testament to the power of personal transformation and the freedom that comes from breaking free from addiction - a truly inspiring journey of resilience, courage, and personal growth. Join us on this enlightening episode of the Drunken Worm Podcast.
