Zedd

Anton Zaslavski, known to the world as Zedd, was born on September 2, 1989, in Germany. He is a talented record producer, disc jockey, and musician who has made significant contributions to the electronic music scene. Zedd's stage name is a clever play on the English pronunciation of the first letter of his surname, 'zed.'

His rise to fame began with the release of his 2012 single 'Clarity,' featuring Foxes. This track not only peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 but also earned him the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the fifty-sixth ceremony. 'Clarity' served as the third single from his debut studio album of the same name, which also included the US top twenty hit 'Stay the Night' featuring Hayley Williams.

In 2015, Zedd released his second studio album, 'True Colors,' which featured the Billboard Hot 100 top twenty single 'I Want You to Know' with Selena Gomez. His musical journey continued with the 2017 release of 'Stay,' a collaboration with Alessia Cara that reached number seven on the charts. The following year, he achieved even greater success with 'The Middle,' a collaboration with Maren Morris and Grey, which peaked at number five.

Zedd has also made notable guest appearances, including on Ariana Grande's 2014 hit 'Break Free,' which reached number four on the Billboard charts. As of August 30, 2024, he is set to release his third studio album, 'Telos,' further solidifying his status in the music industry.
