Multi-Platinum, Grammy Award Winning Artist Zedd Announced As Mtv’S International Push Artist for February MULTI-PLATINUM, GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ARTIST ZEDD ANNOUNCED AS MTV’S INTERNATIONAL PUSH ARTIST FOR FEBRUARY CLICK TO TWEET: BREAKING! Zedd announced as MTV International Push Artist for February! http://push.mtv.tv #mtvpush 28 January, 2014: Multi-platinum recording artist/DJ/producer Zedd has been selected to be MTV’s International PUSH artist for the month of February. Zedd’s unique style draws from a diverse musical training and a background spanning from classical to post-hardcore/metal to electro house, creating detailed, carefully produced compositions that also appeal to audiences outside of the EDM realm. He signed with Interscope Records in 2012 and released his debut album Clarity to much critical acclaim with Rolling Stone deeming him an “Artist to Watch.” Proving to be a distinguished player in music, Zedd is the latest talent to be championed by MTV PUSH - MTV’s global promotional vehicle dedicated to bringing music fans around the world the latest talent. Zedd will be heavily promoted throughout February, across all MTV’s international platforms including 63 channels in 152 territories worldwide, 40 MTV websites and 80 localised social network channels. Zedd commented, “MTV has given my career incredible support, naming me an “Artist to Watch” in the US last year. I am infinitely grateful they have selected me for their MTV Push campaign worldwide now. Thank you, MTV!!!” Zedd joins a roster of MTV Push artists who have since gone on to become some of today’s best known and hottest acts with previous artists including Justin Bieber, Lana Del Rey, Bruno Mars, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rita Ora, LMFAO, Jessie J, Ke$ha and John Newman. -ENDS- About Zedd Zedd, born Anton Zaslavski, first made waves with a series of remixes of tracks by Skrillex, The Black Eyed Peas and Fatboy Slim, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. He has appeared at numerous festivals including Ultra, Electric Daisy Carnival, Nocturnal, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, Creamfields, Electric Zoo and will perform at Coachella in April. His debut album ‘Clarity’ climbed to No. 3 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic chart fuelled by the success of “Spectrum” which was named the Billboard “Dance Club Song of the Year.” The title track, “Clarity” climbed to No. 2 at Top 40 radio, went Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a 2014 GRAMMY Award for Best Dance Recording. The video, which led to a 2013 “Artist to Watch” MTV Video Music Award nomination, has racked up more than 50 million YouTube views. Zedd’s latest track “Stay The Night” ft. Hayley Williams of Paramore continues to climb the charts while his next single, “Find You” ft. Matthew Koma and Miriam Bryant is featured in Bud Light Platinum’s new creative campaign, Turn Up Your Night, which is rooted in electronic dance music. A fifteen-second ad spot featuring the song will debut during The 56th Grammy Awards this Sunday, January 26th. About MTV MTV is the world’s premier youth entertainment brand.

  • Matthew Koma Releases Brand New Single “Suitcase” CLICK HERE To
    Matthew Koma Releases Brand New Single “Suitcase” CLICK HERE To Listen Now (New York - June 16, 2017) Following up his latest single “Dear Ana,” Matthew Koma today releases a new single entitled “Suitcase.” CLICK HERE to listen now and watch the lyric video. “Suitcase” is an acoustic memoir to one of Koma’s painful break-ups. The skeleton of the song has remained a staple in Koma’s live performances over the last few years, and now Koma finally transforms the track concept into a fully-realized and fleshed out single. “Suitcase” is an honest, emotive and heartfelt reflection of a relationship gone wrong. Co-produced by Koma with Dan Book (Demi Lovato, Steve Aoki) and Steve James, the producer behind Justin Bieber’s “Purpose,” this new studio version of “Suitcase” preserves the acoustic characteristics that emphasize the specialness and honesty of the lyrics. Matthew Koma adds: "Suitcase is a song about seeing your old relationships in your new relationships, your old loves in your new loves...looking back and accepting fault for things that no longer matter. It's about the feeling of unresolved closure." Matthew Koma is one of the most accomplished writers behind numerous smash hits including Zedd’s “Spectrum,” and GRAMMY-winning hit “Clarity.” “Dear Ana” is Koma’s latest single on RCA Records, which received fantastic response from the press. Billboard describes the track as “…hopeful in its musicality, though heavy in atmosphere and lyrical sentiment, People calls the track a “poignant, synth-tinged ballad” and Fuse raves “the singer-songwriter-producer is getting more personal.

  • TREE of CLUES: a Packet for Popheads
    TREE OF CLUES: a packet for popheads Written by Kevin Kodama 1. In one song by this artist, a background clicking noise slows down as she sings “I found another way / To caress my day”. One of this artist’s videos is a single shot of her as both a giant goddess and tiny dancers that slowly zooms out. A track by this artist that she described as “a medieval march through the destruction of a relationship” laments “I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down”. This artist asks “Why don’t I do it for you” in a video that showcases her pole-dancing skills, and she explained a part of her name as “a selection of letters that sounded... masculine and strong”. For ten points, name this artist who released “Cellophane” for her 2019 album MAGDALENE. ​ ​ ANSWER: FKA twigs (accept Taliah Debrett Barnett) ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. This song’s heavily ad-libbed bridge includes the James Brown-inspired lyric “Good God! I can’t help it!”. In the music video for this song, the artist crawls on the ground sporting white polka dotted lipstick. This song begins with a series of tongue clicking and a breathy “yeah” along with some funky guitars. The video for this song uses pink, purple, and blue lighting in a scene where the artist runs between a male flirt and Tessa Thompson. This song’s artist describes herself as “an emotional sexual bender”, which is a nod to her pansexuality. For ten points, name this top r/popheads track of 2018, a Janelle Monae song that was the lead single for the album Dirty Computer.

  • Skrillex Bio 2021
    SKRILLEX BIO 2021 Sonny Moore aka Skrillex is a 33 year old record producer, DJ, musician, singer and songwriter hailing from Los Angeles who has won 8 Grammy Awards, been named MTV’s Electronic Dance Music Artist of the Year, and holds the record for most Grammys won by an electronic artist. He’s headlined arenas and festivals globally and graced the covers of magazine heavyweights like Rolling Stone and Wired. His collaborations include Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, FKA Twigs, Kid Cudi, Boys Noize, A$AP Rocky, and Diplo among countless others. Jack Ü, his project with Diplo, had their eponymous album reach #1 on the US Dance charts, with their track “Where Are Ü Now” feat. Justin Bieber going 4x platinum. Skrillex linked with Bieber again for the 8x platinum “Sorry”, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His label, OWSLA, has launched the careers of some of the most powerful names in electronic music, including Marshmello, Zedd, Porter Robinson, and Mija. He later worked with friend/cult filmmaker Harmony Korine by scoring his critically acclaimed Spring Breakers movie and composed an original track for Pixar’s Wreck It Ralph. He simultaneously penned one of the biggest club hits of the year with A$AP Rocky (Wild For The Night) and dropped his first fashion collaboration with G-Star (it sold out globally in a matter of days). Skrillex took some much needed time off from a never ceasing touring schedule to enjoy some time split between Tokyo and Los Angeles for a creative sabbatical, where he is currently finishing up a trove of new music.

  • Music Review
    6/14/2017 Rich text editor, grade_submission_feedback_comment, press ALT 0 for help. < I like this a lot, but it feels .. heavy. Even the lede sentence is soooo long. Is there a way you can lighten it up a little? Be careful about overdoing it. There are so few albums that are really ABOVE, you know? And we need a little old school in here because I don't know any of the references you make. The past year in popular music has fostered the explosion of Electronic Dance Music and a new generation of neon­clad ravers in America, taking the music from its roots in the clubs and abandoned warehouses of inner cities and dropping it on festival stages big and bright enough to see from space. As tidal waves of young, talented artists, and veterans alike, fight for their share of the spotlight, Russian­German producer Anton Zaslovski, better known as Zedd, has separated himself from the heard with his gut­punching electro­house style and the genre’s most anticipated full­length album release since it’s rise into the American mainstream, his debut record, Clarity. After sending OWSLA record label head honcho and dubstep king, Skrillex, a sample of his work in 2011, Zedd punched his ticket straight to the top of the game. Although Clarity is the artist’s first studio album, it’s seamless flow from track to track and heavy electro influences point to a musician wise beyond his years. Traditionally, EDM has been a genre dominated by single releases with many artists struggling to create cohesive full­length albums that make any sort of lasting impression on listeners.
