"Everything I did was real. I managed every transition without a sync button and I lived each performance. But still I constantly felt I was cheating my audience and the scene by presenting a pure fiction." This was the part that struck me; the imposter syndrome, even after achieving commercial success. If you become a sought-after EDM DJ (or software developer) it's not because you were able to fool the world. It's because you've taught yourself how to give your customer what they need. The people consuming what you make already know you're a professional - and you're the last one to realize it. Congrats to the author and her mentors for figuring out what it takes to build a popular act.
