Zedd has another hit on his hands as the
featured producer on Hailee Steinfeld and Grey's
infectious track Starving. He sits
down with me this week to discuss the very surprising reason he got into Djing,
what it's like being a ghost producer for others (will he name names?) and why
he thought he could make money in the music business. Zedd certainly is not
your typical EDM Producer/DJ. Even though he’s a multi-platinum, Grammy
award-winning artist, some may not realize the extent of his vast talent and
experience. From early childhood music was a big part of his daily
routine. Raised by two classically trained musicians, Zedd began playing
piano when only four years old. At times, throughout his childhood he wrote a
song a day. By the age of twelve he learned to play the drums, shortly after
joined a hardcore/metal trio. As a pre-teen Zedd was composing and producing
rock songs in his band's studio. Fast forward to today and Zedd’s gift of
musicality, knowledge of various genres, instrumentation, production and
composition has make Zedd the extraordinary artist he is. His song credits
range from Producer, Composer, Vocals, Keyboards to Mixing, Mastering, Editing
and Remixing. Just three days ago Zedd added the League of Legends World
Championship theme song Ignite to
his list of credits. Apparently not only gamers approve, as Ignite has over 6.5 million views on YouTube!
