Rory Kramer is one the more widely accomplished videographer in EDM. He’s kown for his work for EDM acts The Chainsmokers & Krewella. Unfortunately he informed everyone an Instagram post about a serious car accident he was involved in along with some more serious problems that he feels led up to this.
Kramer has stated that the accident involved him losing control at a very high speed in his car. He was on a gravel road and ultimately led to his car hitting a tree. That led to him flipping upside down and dragging his face and shoulder against the gravel. He described himself as being left in a bloody mess screaming for help.
Unfortunately that’s not the end it. Kramer even opens up and explains some the more serious issues he was battling, stating:
“ I knew I had made a huge mistake running from my problems anxiety, depression, dealing with a father with cancer, rather than admitting them and seeking help.”
“What I did was stupid and I could have easily lost my life. I am hoping to make changes in my life but I also hope to shed light on the fact you never know the pain someone carries until you lend an ear and listen as a friend.”
He goes on to explain that while his life from the outside looks amazing. But from the outside, you just never really know what one person is battling within themselves.
Mental health continues to come up as a recurring issue throughout the dance music world lately. Recently, the late great passing Avicii and even Above & Beyond‘s Paavo opening up about this very subject. It’s clear that this is something we need to be paying attention to. It’s important to seek out the help when we feel we require it. It isn’t something we should ignore or try to deal with alone.
We’re glad to hear that the incident didn’t get any worse and Rory Kramer is now recovering. We hope he finds the help and assistance he needs in order to deal with any issues he has.
We wish him a speedy recovery so that he can get back to doing what he does best.
