DJ Da Don: An Inspiration To Many Bereaved Children Across the Globe

by Peter Jason Content Enthusiast

As stated in the Recovery Village report, statistics have shown that around 1.5 million children worldwide have lost either one or both of their parents by the time they have turned 15. This has led to an alarming growth of bereaved children on an international scale.

With so many children suffering without the guidance of a parental figure to process out the bereavement stages so that they can heal from their wounds, a majority of children end up on dangerous paths in life that leave behind permanent scars and regrettable memories of the past.

Some of the common signs that have been witnessed among children are depression, anti-social behavior, aggressive attitude, etc. These adverse behavior fluctuations are the result of unsupervised guidance to find a coping mechanism. Wounds do heal- if you give them time to process it and take care of it. But if you avoid taking care of the injury, it will spread and permanently scar you for the rest of your life.

DJ Da Don, a talented music producer who is making a name for himself in the music industry, is no different. Like many others, he too suffered a period of grief from the loss of a family member- and like them, he too was headed down rough paths. But fortunately, he was lucky enough to find a better hope for himself- through music.

Starting from humble beginnings, DJ Da Don had lost his mother at the ripe age of nine. There was no replacement for the unconditional love that his mother provided him even after his uncle took him in and raised him. The only sole solace that he had was music. From a young age, he would write his own music and sing songs to comfort himself during the dark times in his life.

However, there were still many wounds that were left unhealed for him, which caused him to face many hardships growing up-, and eventually, they dragged him to a corner from where he thought he would never be able to come out of. But he did- upon a fated meeting with a producer for 300 named Young Chop.

Once again, music pulled him in, captivating his interest as he began to learn from the best of the best rappers, producers, and record executives that created a solid base for him. He began to produce his own music for Chicago rappers like Lil Durk and Sosa and bonded with fellow artists Gucci, Rick Ross, and Young Jeezy.

DJ Da Don knew that he wouldn't have been able to find a prosperous path for himself without music, which is why he has been determined to help bereaved children live a life of peace and hope. Subsequently, he established a DJ Da Don Loves the Kids Foundation where bereaved children seek shelter. With his music and his past, he bonds with these children and plays music for them, setting himself as an inspirational figure and a person who they can rely on to process their grief and find a better path to heal themselves for a brighter future.
