    Christopher Wilson, a Texas-based DJ and producer, is better known by his stage name, Riot Ten. But what's unbelievable about him and his family's journey is that he has never let negative situations shake or shape his direction.

    From a young age, Wilson knew he wanted to go for1. When dropping out at seventeen and having little family support, he still started his career as an uphill battle.

    "Thinking positive, thinking big is huge for success," he said, "I've always imagined myself rich, successful and at the top of everything I did. I really believe in positivity... That positive energy shows itself in work and opportunities."

    Wilson took this energy and ran with it, slowly building a career and name for himself in the music industry, despite criticism from others, financial (money) challenges and the difficulty of 2 both his duties as a father, and his great love for making music.

    With the birth of Wilson's second child, Kai, however, both his positive attitude and career were3 dramatically.

    On September 3, 2017, Kai was born-weighing less than two pounds and with a large welt on the side of his head. Kai was said to have less than a 50% chance of living, and if he did live, there was a 50% chance he'd have cerebral palsy (脑性瘫痪). For Wilson, this was terrifying -the unknown, the fear of 4 his child. He also felt the powerlessness in watching Kai struggle to5 on his own. Wilson was then told Kai was missing a part of his brain, something that would affect all motor skills.

    He had no 6; he just had to wait. But even in the moments of fear, of helplessness, of pain, Wilson kept positive. He kept creating, kept believing and kept moving forward.

    In the course of a few months, he had answers. Kai didn't have cerebral palsy, and he would survive. After one month of a breathing tube, Kai was able to breathe on his own, and even began to show7 baby behavior.

    "I've always thought everything happens for a reason," Wilson says, "Kai probably shouldn't be alive, and he somehow made it. And everything we expected to happen- his coming out 8, not having cerebral palsy, being able to breathe on his own- it all worked out. There's a plan for everything."

    It's this attitude that has 9 Riot Ten to success. He released his second EP (唱片), "Hype or Die: The Dead EP" on February 16, 2017, and his song," Rail Breaker" has hit No.1 on all dubstep charts.

No matter what life throws at us, Wilson has continued to stay positive and share his passion for music with the world.
