Stanley Arthur

Hello there,

My name's Stanley. Or is it David? Sometimes I really dont know. I spent 13 years introducing myself as Stan to everybody I met all over the world. Stanley was a real-life character. Travelling the world as a DJ & drug dealer, he lived a fast pace life full of excitement and extravagance. From mansions in Beverly Hills to the slums of Vancouver, Stan has a lived a life more riveting and dramatic than 1000 best sellers. Rock bottom came to Stan in the form of an overdose. Staring death in the face, it was quite apparent that I was at a crucial turning point in my life. Having failed at suicide, it was clear that it was not time for me to go. But if I was to live on, there needed to be some changes.

I decided to go legit. Part of that, I assumed was by finally going by my birth name, David. But how can I simply let go of my complete identity of Stanley Arthur? I couldnt. Especially where everybody I see, still calls me by the name they know me, Stan.

It really doesnt matter what you call me as my story remains the same. I am a recovering, ex-drug dealing, DJ, addict. I have learned that I can still live a super exciting life but now I do it clean and sober. I still travel the world, visiting music festivals and living my dream. I do it in a way that promotes happiness and positivity in myself and everybody I meet. I am now writing books based on my experiences, so I invite you to check them out.

I value your feedback. So please, let me know what you think.

Your friend,

-Stanley Arthur
