DJ Audacity

Example of a pro-sumer 16 year old kid from Norway making songs by remixing songs.
The info from his Facebook page:
          "From his room. DJ Audacity began producing at the age of late 15. With a passion for music since he was a child he found his calling making YouTube hit mixes that went viral with remixes of "Listen To Your Heart". His popularity has quickly risen gaining over 23 million views on YouTube in just a few months."





For this remix he took songs that had no obvious connection and made something new. He used the chorus from this country song



And mixed it with Haillie's Song by Eminem which is about his daughter.




And the lyrics of Bedrock by Lil Wayne and Gudda Gudda



This is a good example of a pro-sumer creation because he is just a teenager, mixing music at home using songs that have already been made. Using digital technology he is able to create something new then publish and advertise it on sites like YouTube and Facebook where he has received millions of views
