Biography
Adam Michael Goldstein, known professionally as DJ AM, was an American DJ.

Goldstein developed a drug addiction as a teenager and was sent to the controversial rehabilitation center Straight, Incorporated.

After he attempted suicide in 1997, Goldstein became sober and later sponsored other addicts through Alcoholics Anonymous.
