Marshmello, (stylized marshmello) is an electronic dance music producer and DJ. He first gained international recognition by remixing songs of Jack Ü and Zedd.

Background

Marshmello's identity remains unknown despite many sources proving him to be American DJ, Dotcom as they both alleged to have the same first names, same birthdays, same tattoos and similar music styles.[1]

His musical style includes groove-oriented, synth and bass-heavy electronic dance music.[2] Inspired by other masked DJs like Deadmau5 and Daft Punk, Marshmello appears wearing a full-head-covering marshmallow helmet.[3] Despite the anonymity, his career received international recognition in 2015 when he began releasing tracks online, including remixes of Zedd's "Beautiful Now", Jack Ü's "Where Are U Now" and others.

With his new found fame, Marshmello performed at New York's Pier 94, Pomona, California's HARD Day of the Dead festival, and Miami Music Week. In 2016, Marshmello released a compilation of his previously released tracks, Joytime, which reached number one on a digital top electronic albums chart. Included on the album was the single "Keep It Mello" featuring rapper Omar LinX.

History

2015: "WaVeZ"

On 3 March 2015, Marshmello's posted his first song "WaVeZ" as an original mix on his SoundCloud page.[4] As he released more songs, he began to receive support from established and well-known DJs like Skrillex who reposted his song “FinD Me,” on his SoundCloud page.[5]

2016: Debut album "Joytime"

On 8 January 2016, Marshmello self-released his debut album Joytime consisting of 10 tracks through his own label Joytime Collective.[6] The album topped iTunes electronic album chart on the first day.[7] As of 30 July 2016, the album is twelfth on the chart.[8] Two singles were released from the album, titled "Keep it Mello" featuring rapper Omar LinX and "Want U 2".[9] The album peaked number five on Billboard's electronic/dance albums chart.[10]

Marshmello debuted on Monstercat with his song "Alone", which appeared on the compilation album "Monstercat 027 - Cataclysm".[11] On 3 June 2016, it was announced that there would be a remix contest for "Alone".[12] The winner would have their remix released by Monstercat and a chance to play an opening DJ set at Camp Bisco.[13] It was later announced that future house duo MRVLZ had won the contest.[14]

On 19 June 2016, Marshmello performed at Electric Daisy Carnival 2016 in Las Vegas where Dutch DJ Tiesto, who wore the same clothes as Marshmello showed up on stage and took off his helmet assuming to be Marshmello.[15] It was later disregarded as a publicity stunt by fans and the media due to their conflicting tour dates and a photo of "the two helmeted DJs hanging out together pre-show".[16][17][18]
