Canadian electronic music producer and Mau5trap label head deadmau5 is one of the most prominent fixtures in the dance scene of the 2010’s, instantly recognizable with his signature over sized mouse helmet. Debuting in the late 2000’s, he made his first international statement with his 2009 album ‘For Lack of a Better Name’. From there, he remained a top ten fixture on the U.S. and Canadian Dance charts, going platinum in 2010 with his album ‘4×4=12’ and topping the charts three times in a row with his albums ‘Album Title Goes Here’, ‘While (1<2)’, and ‘W:/2016ALBUM/’. Known for his live sets and highly produced stage set-ups, he is also an avid video gamer, contributing to soundtracks for Grand Theft Auto, Need for Speed, and more. In 2012, he released one of his most popular singles together with Chris James which has gained over 100 million online streams since and also peaked at #6 on the Billboard US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs.
