I'm very lucky and very humbled, you know, I was very lucky to have that opportunity and just to think about that somewhere in the world somebody is watching the Blade right now and that my song is playing.
DJ Kelly Reverb, a name synonymous with the electro/breaks genre, has a story that goes beyond the turntables. Raised in Dallas, Texas, Kelly's career took off with residencies at iconic venues like The Hard Rock and The Lizard Lounge. His unique blend of house and breakbeat rhythms earned him accolades, including features in the movie 'Blade' and remixes for artists like the Stone Roses.
But behind the beats and the bright lights, Kelly faced a daily battle with alcohol that nearly derailed his life. In this episode of 'Recovery Survey', hosted by Brett Morris, Kelly opens up about his journey from the highs of DJ fame to the lows of addiction. He candidly shares his experiences with rehab and the crucial role that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Smart Recovery played in his path to sobriety.
Kelly emphasizes the importance of accountability and working through recovery steps, even without a traditional sponsor. Listeners will hear about the core group of supporters who stood by Kelly through his struggles and triumphs. His story is a testament to the fact that success and sobriety can coexist, and that addiction doesn't discriminate based on profession or status. Kelly's journey is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding balance and purpose in life beyond the decks.
Whether you're a fan of his music or someone seeking inspiration on their own recovery journey, Kelly's story offers a powerful reminder that it's never too late to seek help and make a change. Tune in to 'Recovery Survey' for an episode that blends beats with heartfelt honesty.
