Dea
By Robbie Wilde as told to Kenneth Millera
I I was bom in England with perfect hearing. In 1990, when
was five, my family moved to the United States. I started getting
en ear infections every three months or so. We didn't have health
insurance at the time and when I got a third infection, my
st parents couldnt pay for the treatment. I went deaf in my right
getar and was left with 50 percent hearing in my left. Over time.
remaining hearing dropped to 20 percent, where it is today
doctors predicted that I would be completely deaf by now,
so I think I'm doing pretty well
e There was always music on in my house when I was little
I loved listening to Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley
Michael Jackson. My dad was a DJ, so he played disco
folk, dance, rock, and music from other countries. For my
18th birthday, my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant
he owned. After doing that for a few weeks. I was hooked. I
wanted to learn more.
