Marshmello (stylized marshmello) is anelectronic dance music producer and DJ. He first gained international recognition by remixing songs by Jack Ü and Zedd.
Background
Marshmello's identity remains unknown, although it has been suggested he is American DJ Chris Comstock, also known as Dotcom, as they are both alleged to have the same first names, birthdays, tattoos as well as similar music styles.[1][2]
His musical style includes groove-oriented, synth and bass-heavy electronic dance music.[3] Inspired by other masked DJs likeDeadmau5 and Daft Punk, Marshmello appears wearing a full-head-covering marshmallow helmet.[4] 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 Ü Now" and others, as well as his own single "Alone".
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 five on the US BillboardDance/Electronic Albums chart. Included on the album was the single "Keep It Mello" featuring rapper Omar LinX.
