Sonny John Moore

Skrillex is an American musician, popularizer of the dubstep style, producer and DJ, record holder for the number of National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences awards in dance music. Rapper Kanye West, stingy with praise, but generous with shocking, and he admitted that Skrillex's remix of Benny Benassi's composition "Cinema" is "one of the greatest creations of all time and peoples."

There is an interesting fact in the biography of the owner of 8 Grammy gramophones. At the age of 16, Skrillex learned that his parents, Francis and Scott Moore, were not relatives to him, but the people whose blood flows in his veins lived in the neighborhood, and the boy communicated with them.

Sonny John was born in January 1988 in Los Angeles. Mura's little son was transported to San Francisco. There Sonny went to school, but relations with classmates did not work out. A few friends named the teenager Skrillex, or Skrilly. The pseudonym has no meaningful load or hidden meaning. According to unconfirmed reports, the first stage name was Twipz.

Upon returning to his hometown, Moore studied at a school with a specialization in art, but even then ridicule and humiliation from peers did not stop. I had to part with my school and start homeschooling.

The guy was saved by the music. Sonny mastered the guitar, which he received as a birthday present, using the self-instruction manual, downloaded a computer program and tried to mix. At the age of 12, he discovered the pioneering Warp Records label and began listening to tracks in the style of glitch and intelligent dance music.

The news that he was an adopted son prompted Moore to leave home. This period coincided with the acquaintance with Matt Goode, who played in the emo group From First To Last. It was assumed that Skrillex would join the band as a guitarist, but the guy became the vocalist.

In 2006, the band went on a tour, during which Sonny tore ligaments, underwent 2 surgeries and eventually left the team. He laid out his first developments on the Internet, performed in clubs, until he fell into the hands of the Big Beat label, which is part of the Atlantic Records group. Later Skrillex came under the tutelage of DJ Deadmau5.

The first Skrillex album was released in 2010. In the same year, fans heard the EP "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" with the song "Kill Everybody", later remixed by the duets Bare Noize and KOAN Sound, the French band Dirtyphonics. The number of views of the video for the title track has exceeded one hundred million.

In 2011, a laptop with songs for the next album was stolen from Skrillex. The first and five-time Grammy nomination became a kind of compensation, and although Moore did not receive the award, they talked and wrote about the musician everywhere.

A year later, Sonny presented the single "Make It Bun Dem", recorded with Bob Marley's son Damian. The video for the song "First Of The Year" won the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards for visual effects.

2013 saw dubstepper win the Grammy with Bangarang in the Best Dance / Electronic Album category. Skrillex then surpassed the popular British duo Disclosure, consisting of brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, with their studio album Settle.

Skrillex presented his only full-length album “Recess” in March 2014, for the next couple of years the artist was busy releasing the debut disc for the duet “Jack Ü” with Thomas Wesley Pentz, better known as Diplo. The studio album was called "Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack Ü". Justin Bieber and Melissa Elliot participated in the recording of the compositions.

In 2016, Skrillex in collaboration with the Swedish singer Elliphant presented the single "Spoon Me". Not long before that, the video for the joint track "Only Getting Younger" gained over 6 million views on Youtube.

A year later, Sonny recorded the song "Would You Ever" and released a video afterwards. The musician was supported by Poo Bear, aka singer, producer and songwriter Jason Boyd. In the same 2017, a new single by hip-hop singer Sirah and Skrillex entitled "Deadbeat" was presented to the audience.

For the singer NSTASIA Moore produced and recorded the track "Parachute" with her. The girl herself called the work with Sonny "awesome", the musician - "awesome" and said that she was glad to include the song in her own album.

The personal life of a musician interests fans no less than the date of the next concert or release. Sonny is known to have maintained a relationship with British pop singer Ellie Golding. Among the notable achievements of the singer are the critics' award in the BRIT Awards 2010, the first places on the Billboard charts and on iTunes, a performance at the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Skrillex himself emailed the girl that he liked the shit she was doing. Young people began to call back. Then Ellie came to New York and specially found time to get to know each other personally.

However, none of the artists wanted to move to the other side of the ocean, and the tours did their job. The novel barely lasted a year. Only he himself knows whether Skrillex's heart is currently occupied. Golding was later found in the company of actor Jeremy Irwin.

Sonny's unusual hairstyle - a shaved bald head on one side and long strands on the other - "started" a page on Twitter, and the electric pop team Electric Valentine dedicated the song "Girl, you got Skrillex hair" to her.

Moore keeps in touch with Jared Leto and is a fan of Jonathan Davis, even producing a couple of tracks for his band's tenth album Korn. In turn, Leto starred as the Joker in the video for the song "Purple Lamborghini", which became the soundtrack for the adventure fantasy film "Suicide Squad".

Sonny loves Diet Coke, coffee and Mexican food, watches anime at his leisure and has fun with imitation of the characters' voices. In clothes, he prefers the G-Star brand and black.

Skrillex was given the honorable 4th place with a round sum of $ 24 million. Young talent Ti Sto, David Guetta and Calvin Harris were ahead of him.

A year earlier in the Forbes rating, Moore also entered the top ten with revenue of $ 30 million. Skrillex concerts, gathering crowds in halls and in the open air, using vivid visual effects, are held under the loud slogan The King of Dubstep.

In April 2018, New Zealand R&B singer Kimbra released her third studio album, Primal Heart. The singer worked with Sonny on the track "Top Of The Wolrd". According to the tabloid Rolling Stone, the song is included in the playlist of EA Sports' popular game series "FIFA 18".
