Skrillex
Artist Bio
Skrillex isn't just a name; it's a cultural reset. Sonny Moore, the guy behind the hair and the beats, went from Warped Tour screamo to shaping the sound of a generation. Think about it: dubstep infiltrated *everything* for a hot minute, and Skrillex was Patient Zero.
He didn't just stumble into EDM; he detonated it. From the early days of MySpace anthems to Grammy-slaying EPs, Skrillex carved a space where bass drops reigned supreme. The OWSLA label became a breeding ground for new talent and a testament to his ear for the next big thing.
Before the bass wobble, there was From First to Last. Yep, Skrillex fronted a post-hardcore band back in the day. It's a wild plot twist that explains his knack for raw energy and understanding what makes a crowd lose its collective mind. That screamo background clearly gave him a unique perspective on sound.
He's not afraid to experiment. Teaming up with Diplo as Jack Ü gave us "Where Are Ü Now" with Justin Bieber, proving Skrillex could craft a pop smash that still had serious edge. That track low-key changed the game for EDM crossovers.
Skrillex has quietly become a go-to producer for the biggest names in pop. He's worked with everyone from Beyoncé to BTS, adding his signature touch to tracks that already had a head start on the charts. Talk about a low-key flex.
From underground raves to stadium shows, Skrillex built an empire on sound. Love him or hate him, his influence on modern music is undeniable. He's a shapeshifter, a genre-bender, and proof that taking risks can pay off in a big way. The legacy continues.
