Economic downturn leads DJ to sell his teeth

A DJ and recording artist hit by the economic downturn is planning to sell his gold teeth in order to raise cash.

Anthony Ghosh, aka DJ Talent, hopes to raise about £30,000 by selling all 28 of his gold crowns.

He had his teeth crowned three years ago, at a cost of £10,000, to help to boost his career.



"I had all my teeth filed down to small spikes to be more recognisable to my fans and have a trademark as a recording artist," he said.

"But due to the credit crunch and things not going too great at the moment, I'm forced to think about what I'm going to do in the future."

"It's a big decision getting rid of my teeth and could actually cost me my career, as I don't know if I'll be noticed with white teeth."
