ZEDD Echo Tour 2017

Details

KiSS RADiO presents ZEDD with guests Grey and Lophiile.

Born in Russia and raised in Kaiserslautern, Germany, Zedd began playing piano at age 4. “Both my parents are musicians and from a very early age they encouraged me to make classical music,” Zedd recalls. “I kept up with that until I was about 12 when my brother and I started a rock band. From there I went in a more post-hardcore/ metal direction and really developed my sensibilities as a drummer — so I was sort of constantly moving into different styles of music.” Upon hearing Justice’s album † in his late teens, Zedd was inspired to try his hand at electronic music and learn the art of production. By 2010 he’d won two Beatport remix contests and soon started drawing rave reviews for his remixes of tracks by the likes of Skrillex, The Black Eyed Peas, Fatboy Slim, and Lady Gaga.

This theme of experimenting with different musical styles has remained a constant and proven successful for Zedd, who teamed up with Alessia Cara for his latest single “Stay” and landed his first #1 at Top 40 Radio in the U.S. Heralded as a “bright and buoyant banger” by Entertainment Weekly and “super infectious and immediately likeable” by Billboard, the certified platinum single (U.S.) has garnered over 620 million streams digitally and reached the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Zedd also took to the stage with Alessia on the season finale of “The Voice” to perform “Stay” to an audience of over 9 million viewers. Zedd explains, “I’m always working on bigger projects, but for the moment this track isn’t necessarily part of anything bigger than just me making music. I’m trying not to look at genres, and the songs I’ve been working on are really all over the place – from a complete chord progression to “Stay” to a song that I never would have done before. I just like to close my eyes and make the music that I want to hear.”
