/ Dubstep, Electro-House, USA. (Released in Danish, 2012 January 23rd)
This is Skrillex. A brilliant electro-musician, who seems to be nerd / genius and a rising star.
Skrillex is Sonny John Moore, born in 1988 in Los Angeles, a former frontman of the post-hardcore band From First To Last. In 2007 he started his solo carreer. Skrillex has made 1 album, 14 EP's, some singles, remixes in amounts and been a guest artist on various people's tracks.
23rd of december 2012 he released a new music video, quite "noir" (especially when you look at the date it was released and the story in the video), watch closely ...
Skrillex informs that the music he started listening to was Aphex Twin, The Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson ... which tells us where he gets "it" from. He has made electro music since he was 14 years old!
In 2011 he was nominated for 5 Grammy's (including Best New Artist), the BBC's Sound of 2012 and MTV's best Electronic Dance Music. He has won a total of 6 Grammys by now.
Skrillex will be playing for the first time in Denmark 5th of may 2012. The concert at Store Vega was sold out in 24 hours and the gig was moved to Forum. Ah, would like to have been there :)
