Do you know any famous/upcoming musicians personally?

Not edm, but my dad is pretty close with Billy Gibbons and Steve Miller, I've met both and I imagine they couldn't pick me out of a lineup if all their residuals were at stake, through my dad I met Steve Stevens (Billy Idol's guitarist post Gen X) at my father's house and I was at a guitar center in dallas a few years ago and lo and behold Steve Stevens comes up to me and chats me up...pretty cool cat, and one fantastic guitarist to boot

I live down the street from J. Geils, from the J. Geils Band. And when Ben Affleck's grandfather passed away a few years ago, my wife's grandmother was friends with him, and now has his cat.

Not really EDM related at all, but still interesting.

I've chilled and talked to a few different artists at shows, but wouldn't consider anyone I know to have hit big. I have a few friends really working their asses off about it though (mostly acoustic/band stuff), but that's about it.

I don't know anyone that I would say is "famous", but I come from the same small town as the members of Altern-8 and Bizarre Inc. (if you're old enough to remember their tunes!) so I know those guys, although not that well and only through local DJing work. The guy behind this tune was in the same year as me at school, so I used to know him quite well although I haven't seen him in years: -

Not music related, but the most famous person to attend my school when I was there was Jonathan Ive, the lead designer of the iMac, iPod, iPhone etc. who was a couple of years above me.

I know Morten Breum out of Copenhagen....probably the #1 DJ in Denmark. He recently moved to LA to hit the American scene.

He has some great tunes and he brings it hard every time I've seen spin live. I highly recommend checking him out. He just released a bootleg of Levels... slammin!

I know DJ Inquisitive and Mathias Schell. These are very popular DJs in Singapore, Mathias Schell is rising fast in the DJ scene there.
