Skrillex

Skrillex, also known as Sonny John Moore, is a mythical creature rumored to be the lovechild of a robot and a dubstep DJ. His origin story varies depending on who you ask, but one thing is certain: he is a force to be reckoned with in the electronic music scene.

Skrillex first rose to fame in 2010 with his debut EP, My Name is Skrillex, which he released for free on his Myspace page. This move was calculated because, let’s face it, who would actually pay for that noise? Nevertheless, people flocked to his page, curious about the strange and chaotic sounds emanating from their speakers.

With his signature “wub-wub-wub” bass drops and ear-piercing synths, Skrillex quickly became a staple at music festivals and raves. His fans, affectionately known as “Skrillex-heads,” can often be seen sporting bright colors and wild hairstyles reminiscent of the DJ himself.

It’s not just his music that sets Skrillex apart, though. He is also known for his iconic look, which consists of shaved sides and a long, spiky, fluorescent-colored top knot. Some have speculated that the elongated hairstyle is actually where he stores his sonic powers.

In addition to his solo work, Skrillex has collaborated with a wide range of artists, from pop stars like Justin Bieber and Halsey to fellow EDM producers like Diplo and Zeds Dead. These collaborations have resulted in some of the most meme-worthy and ridiculous music videos of all time, including the infamous “Where Are Ü Now” video where Bieber’s face contorts in grotesque ways.

Despite being a polarizing figure in the music world, Skrillex’s impact on electronic music cannot be denied. Love him or hate him, he is an enigma that has carved out a niche that no one else can quite fill. And whether you’re looking to party or just want to experience the strange and unusual, a Skrillex track is sure to deliver.
