Mini bio
How it started.
Before the festival stages, there was a piano. Zedd began playing at four, then spent ages 12 to 20 drumming in the German band Dioramic. He still starts writing music at the piano.
Finding his sound.
Born Anton Zaslavski, he entered electronic music through remix contests in 2010. Remixes for Skrillex and Lady Gaga followed. His 2012 debut album Clarity gave him a breakthrough title track with Foxes, which won a Grammy in 2014.
Songs fans grew up with.
True Colors followed in 2015. “Stay” with Alessia Cara and “The Middle” with Maren Morris and Grey carried his melodic songwriting into more pop collaborations. In 2024, he released his third album, Telos, bringing his classical and band influences back into focus.
