Skrillex

Artist Snapshot:

    Biography

    Sonny Moore put his gig as post-hardcore frontman behind him in 2008 when he left his band From First to Last and created the dancefloor-oriented project Skrillex. He originally used the name for live DJ sets, but in 2009 the project moved into the studio with Skrillex remixing the likes of Lady Gaga (Bad Romance) and Snoop Dogg (Sensual Seduction). In 2010, the self-released digital download EP My Name Is Skrillex appeared, combining the Benny Benassi and Deadmau5 styles of electro with the over the top samples and giant noises of acts like the Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim. Moore would sign with Deadmau5s Mau5trap label that same year, where he would release his second EP, Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites, along with the club hit Kill Everybody. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
