About Zedd

Anton Zaslavski's musical trajectory is unusual for an electronic producer because it starts with classical training and rock band experience rather than with bedroom DJ kits. He grew up in Kaiserslautern, in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of southwestern Germany, after his family relocated from Saratov in Russia when he was a small child. Both parents were professional musicians, and he was trained on piano from a young age before picking up drums and joining a rock band called Dioramic as a teenager. The band released two albums in the late 2000s and toured the German hardcore-and-metal circuit, which gave Zaslavski a touring foundation and a rhythm-section discipline that most producers of his generation did not have. He started experimenting with electronic production in his late teens, uploading remixes and original tracks under the Zedd name in 2010 and 2011, and broke through internationally by winning the Beatport Skrillex remix competition with a flip of Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. That win brought him directly into the OWSLA orbit and led to a signing with Interscope, which positioned him for a major-label launch rather than a slow indie build. The Clarity album, released in October 2012, sat at the intersection of electro-house, complextro and progressive house at a moment when American radio was just beginning to absorb dance music at scale, and the title track — featuring British singer Foxes — became the breakout single. It hit number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, certified multi-platinum in multiple markets, and won the 2014 Grammy for Best Dance Recording. The True Colors album followed in 2015 with the singles Beautiful Now featuring Jon Bellion and I Want You to Know featuring Selena Gomez, and the tour cycle around it took the show into amphitheaters and arenas for the first time. Stay the Night with Hayley Williams of Paramore had already been a 2013 hit. Stay with Alessia Cara, released in early 2017, became one of the biggest pop singles of that year and stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 for over a year. The Middle with Maren Morris and Grey, released in January 2018, was the song that pulled Zedd most fully into the country-pop crossover conversation. It hit number five on the Hot 100, sat in the top ten for over five months, won the 2019 Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the same ceremony — three of the so-called Big Four Grammy categories, an unusual achievement for a producer-led record. The Telos album, released in 2024 after a long gap between full-length releases, was framed as a return to a more cinematic, dance-music-first sound after several years of pop-leaning singles, and the tour cycle around it has been built around a more theatrical and album-oriented live presentation. Around the records, Zedd has been a fixture of the Las Vegas residency calendar across multiple major Strip properties, has played the Coachella main stage at headlining and sub-headlining levels, and has been a recurring headliner at EDC Las Vegas. He has also moved into adjacent ventures: gaming and esports collaborations, including a high-profile partnership with the League of Legends franchise and other interactive projects, and a steady stream of brand work that has placed him outside the strict dance-music marketing lane. He holds multiple Grammy Awards, Latin Grammy nominations, MTV Europe Music Awards and Spellemann-equivalent industry honours across his career, and his catalogue has certified gold or platinum in more than a dozen markets. The live presence is built around an audience that splits between hardcore dance-music fans, pop-radio listeners who came in through Stay or The Middle, and a substantial international footprint in Europe, Latin America and Asia where the festival circuit has been consistently strong.
