This is: Calvin Harris

Image
Dance producer Calvin Harris went from posting his music online to producing material for Rihanna and selling millions under his own name within a few years. A talented remixer and DJ as well, he has won Grammys and MTV VMA awards, broke Michael Jackson's record for the most U.K. Top Ten singles from one album, and was named Forbes' highest-earning DJ in 2013. Born on January 17, 1984 in the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, Harris was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released as a 12" club single and CD-EP by the Prima Facie label in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer.

HIGHEST PAID DJS: FORBES RELEASES 2016 ELECTRONIC CASH KINGS LIST

Image
Forbes just released its annual Electronic Cash Kings list ranking the highest paid DJs of the year. Topping the 2016 list was - to no big surprise - Calvin Harris. Despite being down $3 million in income this year, the DJ superstar pulled in a whopping $63 million. This means that Calvin Harris is the highest paid DJ in the world, four years running! Landing near the top as the second highest paid DJ in the world is Dutch veteran Tiësto with $38 million, followed by French DJ David Guetta with $28 million. Zedd came in at number four ahead of Steve Aoki with $24.5 million while Diplo came right in front of Skrillex with $23 million. Kaskade, Martin Garrix and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike rounded out the top 10 highest paid DJs with $19 million, $16 million and $15.5 million. The collective earnings of the top 10 cash kings is $270.5 million, which - according to Forbes - revealed itself to be the first time since 2012 that the number has gone down year over year.

What is Patreon?

Image
Patreon is the best way for creators to earn ongoing revenue directly from their fans. For creators , Patreon is a way to get paid for creating the things you’re already creating (webcomics, videos, songs, whatevs). Fans pay a few bucks per month OR per post you release, and then you get paid every month, or every time you release something new. Learn more about becoming a creator on Patreon HERE. For patrons , Patreon is a way to join your favorite creator's community and pay them for making the stuff you love. Instead of literally throwing money at your screen (trust us, that doesn’t work), you can now pay a few bucks per month or per post that a creator makes.  For example, if you pay $2 per video, and the creator releases 3 videos in February, then your card gets charged a total of $6 that month.  This means the creator gets paid regularly (every time she releases something new), and you become a bonafide, real-life patron of the arts.  That’s right--Imagine you, in
