History Music / Zedd

!! Tropes applying to Zedd's work:

Initially a classically trained pianist (and then later a drummer in the Heavy Metal band Dioramic), he became interested in {{electronic music}} as a teenager after hearing the ''Cross'' album by Music/{{Justice|Band}}. He got his start in the electronic scene when he won two different Beatport remix contests; his first original release, "The Anthem", broke into the Beatport Electro house Top 20. His remix of Music/{{Skrillex}}'s "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" broke into the Beatport Electro House Top Ten charts, coming to rest at number 2.

His career has included not only his own original material, but several remixes, collaborations, and producing music for other artists including Skrillex, Music/LadyGaga, and Music/JustinBieber. His music is primarily ElectroHouse with touches of {{Dubstep}}.

** We can assume Zedd is this with {{Music/deadmau5}}.
** He also has a similar relationship with Skrillex and Dillon Francis.

* CreatorThumbprint: He frequently uses the sounds of ticking clocks in tracks that he produced, such as "Stay", "The Middle", Music/ShawnMendes' "Lost in Japan" and Music/KatyPerry's "Never Really Over".
