GENRE: Electro house
COUNTRY: Germany
Zedd (aka Anton Zaslavski), being born into a family of musicians, began playing the piano at the age of four. After several years of learning to master the piano, Anton began playing the drums in a band, and composed and produced numerous rock songs in his band’s own studio. In 2009 he began producing electronic club music, to much and quick acclaim. After a peroid of only a few months he attained a remarkable level and went on to win two Beatport remix contests, the “Armand Van Helden / Strictly Rhythm Remix Contest”, and the “Fatboy Slim / Skint Remix Contest”! This was the foundation for Zedd to release several official remixes for artists such as Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, P. Diddy, Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia on labels including mau5trap, Interscope, Atlantic and EMI. His hit single “Dovregubben” held the #1 position on Beatport’s Electro House charts for four weeks. One of the reasons for this rapid development is undoubtedly Zedd’s unique and highly recognizable style of composition. It stands out as very detailed and carefully produced Electro House, very playful and at the same time remarkably catchy. Zedd is definitely an artist to look out for in the future…
