Skrillex to perform this weekend

Skrillex- The name is enough to give you the thrills and remind you of those dizzying nights on the dance floor. The Electronic Dance Music (EDM) sensation will be on first tour to India this month as part of Vh1 Supersonic Arcade and will be performing at the Boulder Hills Golf & Country Club in Gachibowli on Saturday.

It might be a cliché to talk about Sonny Moore, aka Skrillex’s demonic rise to fame but his achievements none the less cannot be ignored. Having sold more than 10 million singles worldwide, he is undoubtedly the biggest global artist to emerge from the American electronic scene in recent years.

Also a music producer who first released his own music for free on MySpace, Skrillex has six Grammy Awards to his name, including Best Dance/Electronica Album for 2012’s Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites and Best Dance Recording for 2013’s Bangarang.

In the five years since he’s been making and playing electronic dance music (EDM), Skrillex has gathered over 4.6 million followers on Twitter and 5.77 million on Soundcloud.

He has remixed Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and the Black Eyed Peas, collaborated with fellow EDM artist Diplo to form the act Jack Ü (the duo, along with Justin Bieber, delivered a Billboard hit called Where Are Ü Now in August), and established his own characteristic brand of hyperactive dubstep called brostep.

According to a 2015 interview with American journalist Katie Couric, Skrillex’s net worth has reached $20 million.

Skrillex recently took to Instagram to announce his upcoming Asia tour where he will grace not just India but also Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and China.

Tickets for the concert in India are available on Meraevents.com and price starts from Rs 1,710.
