Skrillex

Sonny Moore, born in 1988, sang in From First to Last from the age of sixteen and left at nineteen to work alone. He gave away his first EPs as Skrillex on Myspace, and Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites in 2010 took dubstep into American pop.

His first full album, Recess, reached number four on the Billboard 200 in 2014. The following year he and Diplo released Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack Ü, whose “Where Are Ü Now” with Justin Bieber won a Grammy and quietly reset how mainstream pop was produced for the next several years.

He started OWSLA in 2011, which put out early records by Porter Robinson, Alison Wonderland and others, and he has won nine Grammys — more than any other electronic act.

After a long gap he released two albums in 2023, Quest for Fire and Don’t Get Too Close, on consecutive days. His sets have widened a long way past dubstep, but they are still loud and still built on the drop.
