Marshmello, (stylized marshmello) is an electronic dance music producer and DJ. He first gained international recognition by remixing songs of Jack Ü and Zedd.

Background

He debuted on Monstercat with his song "Alone", which appeared on Monstercat 027 - Cataclysm. In June 2016, it was announced that there would be a remix contest for Alone, and that the winner would have their remix released by Monstercat.[1] On July the 8th, it was announced that future house duo MRVLZ had won the contest. It is currently unknown when this remix will be released. His identity remains unknown despite many sources proving him and American DJ, Dotcom to be the same person as they both have the same first names, same birthdays, same tattoos and similar music styles.[2]

Marshmello's musical style includes groove-oriented, synth and bass-heavy electronic dance music.[3] Inspired by other masked DJs like Deadmau5 and Daft Punk, Marshmello (whose real identity remains a mystery) appears wearing a full-head-covering marshmallow mask.[4] Despite the anonymity, Marshmello's career received international recognition in 2015 when he began releasing tracks online, including remixes of Zedd's "Beautiful Now" Jack Ü's "Where Are U Now" and others.

With his new found fame, Marshmello performed at New York's Pier 94, Pomona, California's HARD Day of the Dead festival, and Miami Music Week. In 2016, Marshmello released a compilation of his previously released tracks, Joytime, which reached number one on a digital top electronic albums chart. Included on the album was the single "Keep It Mello" featuring rapper Omar LinX.
