Electro-dance music is the hype among millennials nowadays. Wherever you go, you can hear this type of music being played on the best clubs worldwide.
One person who has made a huge impact on EDM is no other than Zedd. Born Anton Zaslavski, Zedd was raised in Kaiserslautern, Germany by two classically trained musicians.
He began playing the piano at the age of four and built up his knowledge of the Classical repertoire throughout his childhood, at times writing a song a day.
At age twelve, Anton learned to play the drums and, soon after, he began performing with the post-hardcore/metal trio Dioramic. As a preteen he was already composing and producing numerous rock songs in his band’s own studio.
As the years progressed, Anton’s awareness of other genres widened, and in 2009 his interest in producing electronic music was piqued after hearing the French electronic duo Justice. With his gift for musicality and background in composition, instrumentation and production, the move into the realm of electronic dance music was seamless.
The flurry of activity earned him a deal with Interscope, the record label to which Gaga is signed. As Zedd’s profile grows in tandem with his work on ARTPOP, he’s becoming yet another example of the ever-shifting role of the electronic musician due to the many hats he wears: DJ, performer, producer, songwriter.
In the meantime, though, it seems he’s not going to leave the booth anytime soon. He’s got 100 shows planned across five continents through the end of the year, and as the demand for electronic music concerts in America continues to grow—particularly in Las Vegas—he should have little trouble continuing his upward trajectory on the earnings front.
Seven-figure earnings are certainly a nice side effect—and they seem set to become a regular occurrence given the number of people who now know Zedd’s name.
