Contents

Zedd grew up and began his musical journey in Kaiserslautern, Germany. [1] His stage name, Zedd, was derived from zed, the English pronunciation, barring American English, for the first letter of his surname, Z. [2] In 2012, he released "Clarity" (featuring Foxes), which propelled him to mainstream success, reaching the 8th position on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning him a Grammy for Best Dance Recording at the 56th Grammy Awards. [3] Later in 2012, he released his debut studio album, Clarity , with hit single "Stay the Night" (featuring Hayley Williams) appearing on the 2013 deluxe edition of the album.

In 2015, his second studio album, True Colors , was released, supported by its lead single, "I Want You to Know", featuring Selena Gomez. Subsequent well-known songs include "Stay" with Alessia Cara, peaking at number 7; "The Middle" with Maren Morris and Grey; and, as a featured artist, "Break Free" with Ariana Grande, peaking at number 4 in the US.

Zedd released his third studio album, Telos , on 30 August 2024, over nine years after the release of True Colors.

Early life

Anton Zaslavski [4] was born on 2 September 1989 in Saratov, RSFSR, to a Jewish family.

[9] [10] He has an older brother, Arkadi, and a younger half-brother, Daniel. [8] In 2002, Zaslavski began playing for the German deathcore band Dioramic, signed by Lifeforce Records.
