Joel Thomas Zimmerman (born January 5, 1981), better known by his stage name deadmau5 (pronounced "dead mouse"), is a Canadian record producer and DJ from Toronto, Ontario. Zimmerman produces a variety of styles within the progressive house genre and sometimes other forms of electronic music. His tracks have been included in numerous compilation albums, such as the 2007 In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza CD. The February 2008 issue of Mixmag's music magazine included a free CD which was titled MixMag Presents: The Hottest New Name In Dance! DEADMAU5 Tech-Trance-Electro-Madness, mixed by Zimmerman. Tracks have also been included and presented on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance radio show. His debut album, Get Scraped, was released in 2005, followed by others in the next few years.

Zimmerman has received six Grammy Award nominations for his work. He has worked with other DJs and producers, such as Kaskade, MC Flipside, Rob Swire and Wolfgang Gartner. On a number of releases, he has partnered with Melleefresh. An early 12" single produced on vinyl titled "I Don't Want No Other" was released by Joel Zimmerman and Derek Caesar[2] under the group name "Dred and Karma".[3] A 2006 album titled deadmau5 Circa 1998-2002 was released using the alias "Halcyon441". He has also collaborated with Steve Duda under the alias, "BSOD", as well as "WTF?" including Duda, Tommy Lee, and DJ Aero.[4][5] deadmau5 is currently one of the highest paid electronic music producers in the world,[6] and is a masked music artist similar to Marshmello and Daft Punk.

Early life

Zimmerman was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.[7] His mother, Nancy (née Johnson), is a visual artist, and his father, Rodney Thomas "Rod" Zimmerman, is a General Motors plant worker.[8][9] He has two siblings, Jennifer (older) and Chris (younger).[8] His ancestry includes German, Swiss, and English.[9][10] He received his first keyboard for Christmas when he was a teenager.[8][11] His music career began in the late 1990s, with a chiptune and demoscene movements-influenced sound with the Impulse Tracker.[12] Zimmerman graduated from Westlane Secondary School in Niagara Falls. He then worked with an online music licensing company and as a programmer. He adopted the name Deadmau5, which referred to a dead mouse he found in his computer.[13] In late 2012, a 1995 demo track by Zimmerman called "Can't Remember The Name" resurfaced on YouTube.[14]

Career

1998–2006: Get Scraped and self-released compilations

Zimmerman released his debut studio album, titled Get Scraped on July 26, 2005. The tracks "Just Before 8bit", "Nice Try, Kiddo" and "Uploading and Downloading" from Project 56 were edited and expanded upon in Get Scraped under the names "8bit", "Try Again", and "Unspecial Effects", respectively. Tracks "Bored of Canada", "Intelstat" and "I Forget" reappear on this album as is, as well as "The Oshawa Connection" from deadmau5 Circa 1998-2002.

Three self-released compilations, Project 56, deadmau5 Circa 1998-2002, and A Little Oblique, were finished in 2006,[15] with Project 56 seeing an official release two years later.

2006–08: Vexillology, mau5trap and Random Album Title

In 2006, Zimmerman signed to Play Records and released his second studio album, Vexillology, on November 6, 2006.[16]

In 2007, Zimmerman began his own record label, mau5trap, which, along with Ultra Records and Ministry of Sound, released the 2008 album Random Album Title, which saw the collaboration of Zimmerman and Chicago producer Kaskade with "I Remember". Random Album Title, saw a digital release in September 2, 2008 via Ultra Records in the United States and Ministry of Sound in the United Kingdom and Europe. Physical copies of the album were released in November 2008.[17] Singles "Faxing Berlin" on October 25, 2006 and "Not Exactly" on August 27, 2007 were released prior to the album's release. Single "I Remember" (with Kaskade) was later released on September 15, 2008 before the album's release.

In the United States, Zimmerman's collaboration with Kaskade, "Move for Me", reached number one on Billboard magazine's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart in its September 6, 2008 issue.[18] Since then, Zimmerman has seen two more tracks, also collaborations ("I Remember" with Kaskade & "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" with Rob Swire), reach number one on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, making him the only Canadian to have three number-one tracks on that chart. He is also the sixth Canadian to top that chart, following Deborah Cox, Nelly Furtado, Dragonette, Justin Bieber, and The Weeknd, each with one apiece.

2009–11: For Lack of a Better Name and 4x4=12

deadmau5 in 2011

On September 22, 2009, Ultra Records released his album For Lack of a Better Name in the United States, and October 5 internationally.[19] On a subsequent tour in the fall of 2009, Zimmerman's performances were recorded and made available for sale immediately following the concerts on USB wristband flash drives.[20] For Lack of a Better Name includes two of Zimmerman's most popular songs, "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" (featuring Rob Swire) and "Strobe". "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" was released on November 25, 2008 before the album, while "Strobe" was released on February 23, 2010, after the album's release.

MTV named Zimmerman as the house DJ for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and MTV PUSH artist of the week on August 16, 2010. He expressed gratitude towards Lady Gaga and David Guetta for bringing dance into the pop music scene and paving the way for him to the mainstream.[21] At the awards, Zimmerman performed with Jason Derulo and Travie McCoy.[22] His song "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" had been featured on the soundtrack for the MTV reality series Jersey Shore earlier.[23]

His fifth studio album, titled 4×4=12, was released on December 6, 2010 in the United Kingdom and December 7, 2010 in the United States. Singles "Some Chords" on May 3, 2010, "Animal Rights" (with Wolfgang Gartner) on September 6, and "Sofi Needs a Ladder" (featuring SOFI) on November 1 were released and were featured on the album. "Raise Your Weapon" (featuring Greta Svabo Bech) was released later on May 23, 2011. "Some Chords" was featured on an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation where Zimmerman made a cameo appearance, and an instrumental version of "Sofi Needs a Ladder" was featured in the film The Hangover Part II. That year, he also released two non-album singles "Aural Psynapse" and "HR 8938 Cephei".

2012–13: > album title goes here <

On August 9, 2012, Zimmerman announced his sixth studio album, > album title goes here<, which was released on September 24 of that year.[24] Singles from this album include "Maths" on February 17, 2012, "The Veldt" (featuring Chris James) on May 8, and "Professional Griefers" (featuring Gerard Way) on August 14. Singles "Channel 42" (with Wolfgang Gartner) on February 12, 2013 and "Telemiscommunications" (with Imogen Heap) on March 12 were released in 2013, after the album was released. His collaboration with Gerard Way on "Professional Griefers" was announced on Facebook prior to release.[25] In December 2012, FUSE TV named "Professional Griefers" one of the top 40 songs of 2012[26]

2013–14: Astralwerks, 7 EP, and while (1<2)

In November 2013, Zimmerman deleted three years worth of music from his SoundCloud account, replacing them with an EP of seven melancholy piano sonatas (simply called 7), named after the Latin translations for the Seven Deadly Sins: "Acedia", "Avaritia", "Gula", "Invidia", "Ira", "Luxuria", and "Superbia".[27] Also in November 2013, Zimmerman left longtime label Ultra Records and signed with record label Astralwerks, the famed NYC-based imprint that houses artists such as Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, and The Chemical Brothers. Speaking on the partnership, Zimmerman admitted, "I found a place that knows what to do with my music."[28]

On January 7, 2014, Zimmerman announced via his Twitter account that his much-anticipated new album is complete. "In other news...i finished my album today," the tweet read. "2 discs. 2 continuous mixes. 25 tracks. and something im proud of."[27] On May 10, 2014, deadmau5 announced through his subscription service live.deadmau5.com that his upcoming album will be titled while(1<2) and will be released on June 17, 2014.[29] The album was preceded by the release of four singles: "Avaritia", "Seeya" (featuring Colleen D'Agostino), "Infra Turbo Pigcart Racer" and "Phantoms Can't Hang". Starting on the week of May 20, 2014, each single was released weekly for a total of four weeks leading up to the release of the album.

2015–16: Depression, return, and W:/2016ALBUM/

On January 13, 2015, it was announced that deadmau5 would be a headlining act for the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, in Manchester, Tennessee, to be held June 11–15, 2015. On February 2, 2015, it was announced he would appear at Reading and Leeds Festivals. On July 23, 2015, Valve announced that deadmau5 was creating a unique series of sound clips to be featured in their video game, Dota 2. The music pack was released alongside the announcement.[30] On August 8, 2015 deadmau5 performed live at KeyArena in Seattle at the conclusion of the Dota 2 competition The International 5 (TI5), the largest ever tournament in eSports to date. On October 7, 2015 deadmau5 officially announced that he was leaving his then label Astralwerks and going entirely independent with his own label mau5trap. On December 16, 2015, Zimmerman considered ending his career as deadmau5 after he tweeted "meh. considering killing off the "deadmau5" bullsh** and just start something new. did it before, can do it again. f*** it. why not."

On December 17, 2015, it appeared that Zimmerman was either taking a leave of absence or ending his career all together after deleting both his Twitter and Facebook accounts. His Instagram, however, had not been deleted. On December 21, 2015, Zimmerman reopened his Twitter account and posted an apology to his Tumblr explaining his disappearance from social media, stating that he was suffering from depression and would be returning to producing music after the new year.[31][32]

On May 27, 2016, "Snowcone", the first single from Zimmerman in nearly two years, was released as a digital download.[33] This track was later revealed to be the first single from his next album.[34] On November 4, 2016, Zimmerman announced his next album, W:/2016ALBUM/, which was released on December 2, 2016 digitally,[35] with a Vinyl and CD release on February 17 and March 17 respectively.[36]

2017–present: stuff i used to do, and Lots of shows in a row

On January 7, 2017, Zimmerman announced a compilation of his earlier work ranging from the years of 1998 to 2007 on Twitter, titled "Stuff i used to do". Zimmerman also stated that the compilation would release in February of that year.[37] On February 24, 2017, Zimmerman released a limited version of "stuff i used to do" on WeTransfer. The edition, available until March 3, featured only 13 tracks, instead of 16 for the full album. Some of the tracks include "Messages From Nowhere", "HaxPigMeow" (originally titled 'Get In the Pig Meowingtons'), "Long Walk Off a Short Pier", and an alternative mix of "Creep" from while(1<2).[38] The album was officially released on mau5trap a week later, on March 3 2017.[39]

On March 25, 2017, Zimmerman began a tour with his new "Cube 2.1" stage set entitled "Lots of shows in a row" to promote the release of W:/2016ALBUM.[40] Zimmerman toured around North America for two months, before touring the rest of the world from June 3, 2017 and Canada from October 6, 2017 with the tour concluding on October 31, 2017.

Video game appearances

Zimmerman is a playable avatar in DJ Hero 2, a video game released in October 2010.[41][42][43] The game featured several tracks by the artist, including a mix of "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" with Lady Gaga's "Just Dance".[44] He is also featured as a secret unlockable character in the 2014 video game Goat Simulator.[45] His music has been included in other video game titles, including a custom soundtrack for Dota 2,[46] Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Saints Row: The Third, FIFA 13, Grand Theft Auto IV, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Need for Speed: Shift, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, GoldenEye 007, Wipeout 2048, The Sims 3, Asphalt 8: Airborne, Test Drive Unlimited 2 and Sound Shapes.

In the mobile app Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff by TinyCo, deadmau5 was available for purchase as a playable character during the "PeterPalooza".[47] For Google Play users, his album 4x4=12 was made available as a free download after his purchase via an in-game redeemable code. A virtual version of his deadmau5 helmet is also an available accessory in Rocket League.[48]

Personal life

On July 30, 2010, at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., Zimmerman collapsed on stage, suffering from exhaustion and vomiting. This resulted in the cancellation of the rest of the show, as well as nine shows following the event.[49][50]

In September 2012, Zimmerman began dating American tattoo artist and TV personality Kat Von D.[51] After breaking up in November 2012, they shortly rekindled their relationship.[52] On December 15, 2012, Zimmerman proposed to Von D via Twitter, and they announced that they would marry in August 2013 with an aquatic-themed wedding.[53][54] They both have several matching tattoos, including the numbers "289m3d22h" on both of their arms, which is sentimental to the day that they met, as well as two black stars underneath their eyes.[55] Zimmerman moved to Los Angeles to live with Von D.[56] In June 2013, Von D announced that they had ended their engagement.[57]

In 2014, Zimmerman purchased a $5-million home in the Campbellville area of Milton, Ontario.[58][59][60][61]

Name origin

deadmau5 at Coachella 2008.

Zimmerman's father claims that when his son was in his early teens, he was chatting with a friend on his computer, which then abruptly shut off. According to Zimmerman's father, he said that it had a smell like burnt wire and had a strange odor. Zimmerman started to dismantle his computer and happened to find a dead mouse. Zimmerman then became known as the "dead mouse guy" among friends. Joel tried to change his name to "Deadmouse" in an online chat room, but it was too long, so he shortened it to "deadmau5", which is a form of leet.[11][49]

Zimmerman created the original logo—called "mau5head"—while learning how to use some 3D modelling software.[62] The logo appears in many different colors and designs, and has been shown on the cover of most of Zimmerman's albums, with the exceptions of At Play and Vexillology, (although both albums have since been re-released with the mau5head logo). He was given the idea to wear a headdress based on the logo by one of his friends, Jay Gordon of the industrial metal band Orgy. In an interview with CBC Television, Zimmerman said that he wants his logo to be an "icon". Fans often attend deadmau5 concerts sporting their own copy of the mau5head.

He created "deadmau5.com" and began uploading songs to SectionZ and producing under the alias "deadmau5" in 2002.[63][64]

Controversies

Parodies

In December 2007, Marcus Schössow, Maor Levi and DJ Eco[65] created a project named Deadrat6 as a joke on Zimmerman, claiming his tracks sound alike.[65] A similar faux project was also created under the name of Sinterklaa5.[66]

DirtyCircuit

In 2008, an artist called DirtyCircuit claimed to have been threatened with legal action after using a sample called "LP_Faxing Berlin C_128bpm"[67] that came bundled with FL Studio, and to which Zimmerman claimed copyright.[68] The sample was a direct clip of a full bar of the song. Zimmerman provided a "Demo Track" which came bundled with FL Studio, along with several loop samples. The case caused a slight discomfort among the users of FL Studio,[69] and some have pointed out potential inconsistencies in the EULA of the software.[67] Subsequent versions, post FL Studio 8, no longer contained those loop samples.

Disney trademark dispute

Basic geometrical representation of Mickey Mouse's head and ears

In a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone, Zimmerman acknowledged possible similarities between his mau5head logo and that of Mickey Mouse, joking that "someone at the Disney patent office fell asleep on that one."[70]

In March 2014, it was reported that The Walt Disney Company had filed a request with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to investigate Zimmerman's application to register the mau5head emblem as a trademark, noting its resemblance to the figure of Mickey Mouse.[71][72] Disney officially filed its opposition in September 2014, arguing that the mark is likely to cause confusion because it is "nearly identical in appearance, connotation, and overall commercial impression" to Disney's trademarked iconography of Mickey Mouse. In response to the opposition, Zimmerman attacked Disney on Twitter, arguing that the company thinks of people as being "stupid" because "[they] might confuse an established electronic musician/performer with a cartoon mouse."[70] Zimmerman also believed that he had been targeted by Disney due to their attempts to "cash in" on the EDM market, specifically alluding to Dconstructed—a recently released compilation album containing remixes of music from Disney properties by major electronic musicians such as Armin van Buuren, Avicii and Kaskade.[73]

On September 4, 2014, Zimmerman revealed on Twitter that Disney had used "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" in a Mickey Mouse "re-micks" video on their website and YouTube channel without his or his labels' permission, and posted pictures showing a takedown notice that had been sent to Disney by his lawyers. The letter also contained a trademark infringement accusation, arguing that the use of deadmau5's name in material regarding the video falsely implied his endorsement of it. Disney argued that it had properly licensed the song, and that there was "no merit to his statement."[73][74]

In an October 2014 USPTO filing, Zimmerman argued that Disney has attempted to co-exist with him in goodwill. Zimmerman presented evidence that Disney had been in contact with him regarding potential collaborative projects, including an offer to participate in a "re-imagining" of Fantasia as a live concert tour for the film's 75th anniversary.[75]

In June 2015, Zimmerman's attorney stated that he and Disney had "amicably resolved their dispute."[76]

Meowingtons trademark dispute

In 2015, Zimmerman attempted to register a trademark for the name of his pet cat, Professor Meowingtons, whom he adopted in 2010 and has incorporated into some of his own merchandising. However, the registration was rejected due to a pre-existing Meowingtons trademark held by an online retailer of the same name established in 2014,[77] which sells accessories and clothing for cats. After discovering the trademark, Zimmerman petitioned against it, citing his pre-existing uses.[78]

In March 2017, Zimmerman was sued by the site and its owner for trademark infringement and unfair competition; the suit argued that claims by Zimmerman that she had named the site specifically after the cat were false. Zimmerman himself told The Hollywood Reporter that "from the very beginning I was working to find a way to resolve this situation amicably", but that he had been forced to "litigate this woman out of existence".[77] On May 15, 2017, deadmau5 filed a countersuit against Bassiri with the intention of seeking forfeiture of Bassiri's website and domain name.[79]

On June 19, 2012, Zimmerman was awarded the International Achievement Award by SOCAN at the 2012 SOCAN Awards in Toronto.[81]
