Anton Zaslavski, known by his stage name Zedd, is a Russian-German record producer, DJ, and songwriter. Born on September 2, 1989, in Saratov, Soviet Union, Zedd was classically trained in music from a young age, which has deeply influenced his genre-defying approach to electronic music. He began his career in music as a drummer for the metalcore band Dioramic, signed by Lifeforce Records. However, Zaslavski's transition into electronic music came after he heard the French electronic duo Justice, which led to him winning two Beatport remix contests in 2010.

Zedd's swift rise to prominence in the electronic music scene was accelerated with the release of his breakthrough hit "Clarity," featuring Foxes, which won a Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2014. His distinctive style blends classical music intricacies with electro house, earning him a unique place in the dance music world. Renowned for his collaborations with a myriad of artists from different genres, Zedd's recent releases demonstrate his ongoing evolution as an artist. Singles like "Inside Out" (featuring Griff) show his penchant for emotionally resonant melodies, while tracks like "You've Got To Let Go If You Want To Be Free" display his talent for high-energy anthems. Never one to shy away from the pop realm, his collaboration on "Funny" with Jasmine Thompson showcases his versatility in producing catchy hooks. As he continues to remix his own work and that of others, Zedd remains an influential and celebrated figure in contemporary music, known for his ability to turn electronic tunes into mainstream hits.
