You should already know Alessia Cara by now so for today we're going to talk about Zedd. It's a stage name for Anton Igorevich Zaslavski who is Russian/German. Born in Russia, but grew up in Germany so shout out to both countries today because I don't know which nationality qualifies the most. Music runs in his family, as both of his parents are music teachers so I can see where he got his love of it from. He actually started his career in a German deathcore band (which is a first for me, that's not really my music style but cool nonetheless) named Dioramic. He left the group in 2010 and started doing solo stuff under this pseudonym. Zedd is one of those DJs who ended up everywhere so suddenly. It was like zero to one hundred here and everyone was working with him. For good reason too, he's clearly crazy talented. He's another one that I refer to when I talk about being glad with the DJ movement where more of them are ending up being chart topping artists in their own right and having the singers featured on their stuff rather then it being marketed as the other way around. It seems like such a small thing now, but a decade ago it was different. This is one of the more recent songs, being released in 2017, and he's currently working on his third album. He would probably have more by now, but he's done lots of collaborations and gotten production credits in between. Regardless of what he's doing it's always rad so keep an eye on him.
Peace.
