The anonymous DJ/Producer is taking the music industry by storm. Becoming one of the fastest rising dance producers in history, his fan base ranges from children to adults who have helped him gather over 2 billion streams and over 300 consecutive sold out shows worldwide. Catapulting his career with his official remix of Jack U and Justin Bieber’s global hit ‘Where Are U Now’ which collected over 26 million plays on Spotify in less than six months. The masked producer’s debut album, ‘Joytime’, landed him in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums, with his track ‘Alone’ propelling his monumental success with over 110 million Spotify plays and over 800 million video views, making it certified Platinum in only 1 year.

In 2018 Marshmello released the incredibly successful hit single ‘Happier’ with the talented Bastille, which gained over 100 million streams online leading the single to be #1 in the charts for 30+ weeks. However, Russian artist Arty who has been treating us to some wonderful releases over the past couple of months claims that Marshmello plagiarized elements from Arty‘s very popular 2014 remix of ‘I Lived’ by OneRepublic claiming that 19 of 20 notes are identical. Listening to both singles back to back, you can hear the similarities and if you listen to the link below at 0.75x speed it becomes even more noticeable.
