| Gaynell Rydberg 15.04.2013 | He's an awesome guy. Sent him an email asking him for osme additional help and he replied in a couple days. I'm sure he gets barraged with emails too. Faster than NI... |
| Charline Dye 15.04.2013 | Looks like it is down to me too. He posts on FB and YT mainly anyway. |

| Ngan Shannon 15.04.2013 | So whatever happen or what's the updates on this I just saw this and its been over a year ago. The video is private so I have no idea what happen. I admire this guy a lot and learned a great deal from him. |
| Lawana Spratlen 05.02.2012 | Have you seen his Thank You video???? Man needs to stop washing his dirty laundry in front of millions! If he was my mate id be saying Woah! Back up and get the videos down! He wont want to watch these in 5/10/20 years time! Its become embarrassing. |
| Deja Veltre 04.02.2012 | this guy was the guy that tought me how to DJ when i first sparked interest. I wish i could help him but i do not own a credit card so i cannot send credit. |
| Roseline Canright 03.02.2012 | he should have signed up for youtube ads... with that many subscribers and views he gets, the ads program would surely help |
| Candace Carmouche 03.02.2012 | I'm talking to some people i know that are in finance. he might be able to refinance, depending on his income and credit. although i don't know what the law is on foreclosure (or if this is a potential divorce liquidation). if its the latter, there might not be anything he can do aside from buy her out. he needs a lawyer. if its the latter, then if she's not a total heartless bitch, he might be able to make monthly payments to her to buy her out, which could make the situation manageable. but he'd need to get a lawyer to negotiate something like that for her. if its a foreclosure, he should have some refinance options available to him depending on his credit and income. |
| Tennie Pagni 03.02.2012 | I donated. The guy feels like a good friend to me. A good friend who taught me the very basics when I had no clue. |

| Kelley Mendrick 02.02.2012 | Surely this guy could make some decent moneys playing out live, someone would offer him a top residency! But I get the impression he doesn't really play Live anymore? |
| Lilliana Perris 02.02.2012 | He plays gigs? |
| Julieann Branin 01.02.2012 | I received a response from Ellaskins buddy Tony, who I believe is the guy who is always on the road with him to gigs? Thanks, we might set up a paypal account specially for donations to buy J's house in a week or two. We can already take donations to DJ Tutor : [email protected] or: www.djtutor.com/donate J is a YT partner, and it does bring in some cash, but nowhere near enough to buy out his stbx Tony |

I believe hes proven to the whole community for being in the game to just play music and show people his love for DJing. You make it out like hes a corporation. Hes a guy in his house who makes videos that help millions of people. |
| Erich Vallabhaneni 01.02.2012 | damn ive never seen any of his videos but i understand a mate i need. Tough world we live in eh |
| Shay Wyche 01.02.2012 | At least he wont have a pension she can go after. Maybe he can go after hers. |
| Cliff Lohman 01.02.2012 | Heres a link to donate.. If u feel hes taught u a skill at some point, give him a few bucks for it.. He really does cover basic skills very well.. Most tutorials gloss over stuff just expecting u to know it and as a beGinner, u usually dont know it and are left with gaps/question marks. So heres the link: http://www.djtutor.com/donate I gave him 25 usd which i felt was the value i took away from some vids a while back. |

Maybe there are some big name DJs making piles of disposable income that may feel like they owe him for all of the help. Dudes videos are top notch. He's got a way of teaching that drew me right in, I've learned a lot from him. Let's stop arguing over why he needs the money, it won't serve any good. If you can help him, great. If not, no need to drag out arguments over things we know nothing about. This video saddens me, but it happens to so many people. Send money, or your thoughts to him, don't drag him through the dirt. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 01.02.2012 | I know I hark on about sexism and prejudice in general rather a lot but I can't help wonder if he would have got the kids if they swapped genders. It just seems mad to me that the person who destroyed the children's stable environment gets to be the one to look after them. Still we know nothing of the situation so there's no point in discussing it really.

Also the courts tend to favor the Mother for custody of children, "for the good of the children" is always going to be their goal. Especially if the mother in question has already sorted living arrangements (House / Apt with the new bf etc..) and his finances / living arrangements are in dispute. This is all quite apart from legal bills etc stemming from a divorce in the first case. Its a horrible situation for anyone to be in. The video seemed heartfelt, driven by emotion however the explanation not very well thought out. |

Btw, he makes free tutorials so there is no point really in judging how professional he is. He posted this video as a regular joe going through very rough times. |
| Janell Selser 01.02.2012 | He probably couldn't take individual donations from people due to the possibility that his soon to be ex would be entitled to half of anything you give until the divorce is final. Shitty situation that I hope to never experience. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 01.02.2012 | Calm down guys, again I'm not saying it doesn't blow, I'm just saying it's really unprofessional to say that he needs money for his show when really he needs money for a private and personal matter. I have no issues with him asking for that but that the way it has been put together it sounds like he is asking for the show to be saved, not his current living conditions. On another note- I don't understand the legal system at all when it comes to break ups. How does someone get to cheat and then is allowed half the house and gets the kids? That's just plain wrong. |

I mean "It sucks and all"... come on man. |

Maybe, he should set something up on kickstarter.com and ask people to invest into djtutor.com, which in turn he could use the money received to keep his house. |
| Matthew Yanagisawa 01.02.2012 | Im a subscriber to his youtube channel and have watched nearly all his videos so yeah it's true his pace aint perfect but like any other teacher or professor they come in all shapes and forms. That said he's a pretty good teacher about the art I love and Im really bummed about his problem because that pretty much happened to a very close relative of mine. A separation for such reasons breaks your heart, your self esteem, your views of life, your money... everything. It's not easy to get out of that and usually takes years to get your shit together. Yes he's asking for help but seems like the guy has his standarts to outright ask for money. I believe his fans/students/followers/whatever can make the difference and help BIG time. Moral of the story is never get married or if you do, get a lawyer to specify what will happen to the goods you might have before the wedding and those acquired during marriage. Also try your best against all odds and procrastination self-faggotry to study something that can get you a decent job in case you get separated, you could still afford to live on your own. |

| nayit ruiz jaramillo 01.02.2012 | I don't believe DJTT is the correct place for speculation of such an issue. I know you are not making an accusation, i get that. Im not having a go. That accustation was/has never been proved. In fact it was just comments on his page I believe. Lets leave that alone i believe guys. |
| Nereida Jasnoch 01.02.2012 | Just terrible news, his youtube videos are really good, and of course nobody would wish such things for another person. But I wondered: About 6 months ago I went onto the DJ tutor website and I saw something on there that said that he sexually abused his children wich led to his kids being taken away from him. Does anybody else also recall this ? (I'm not implying he 's a sex offender, I'm just saying what I saw on that website) |
