Artist Spotlight: Skrillex

Hey everyone!

Ready to go with another edition of Artist Spotlight this week! Today for you guys, we have an artist who is nominated for a Best New Artist award at this Sunday's Grammy Awards ceremony, Skrillex! Skrillex is the brainchild of Sonny Moore, whom you may remember as the former lead singer of From First To Last several years back. Now, Sonny is ready to step into the electronic realm with an amazing transformation that shows you the depth and creativity that he is capable of as a musician. I had heard alot about this artist fairly recently, and I had no idea that Sonny was behind this project and was absolutely amazed at how groundbreaking this project was. Complete with dubstep heavy grooves, grinding electro rhythms, and little spurts of post hardcore energy, Skrillex has the melodic thunder power to bring electronic music to the forefront and make it more user accessible to the listening audience at the same time. A superb talent with a whole wealth of potential for greater success in the years to come! Some recommended tracks for you to check out from him include "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" and "Bangarang" from the recently released EP of the same name.
