Like many artist Skrillex started playing music at a young age. Born in Northeast Los Angeles, California. He learned, also got interested about music at a store called “Big Apple”. At about age 14, he was always there and finally got a job at the store. This is where he learned about the different types of genres of music. He is a very positive artist, “You can’t give up your career right now just because someone else is doing better or whatever” (Skrillex). This is just the idea of always keep on going even when it seems hard. He believes that artist will have a rise and fall. Over all is a very inspirational to many new artists out there.
