In 2007 he launched a series of demo tapes on his Myspace account, where he began to explore his electronic side to music.

In 2008 he began DJing as Skrillex, and within the next two years he began producing remixes for artists, including La Roux, iSquare, and many more. Earlier this year, as the dubstep scene

in LA had been boiling up in previous years, he released his first EP titled, My Name Is Skrillex. This EP was well received and with the aid of a Facebook post by Deadmau5 his sound was widely distributed. Later during the year he began touring with Deadmau5 and was signed onto his Mau5trap label, while releasing a second EP titled Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. Ever since he doesn't cease to tear up clubs, and continues touring throughout N. America. Catch him nearby, for those who live in LA, his next nearby show will be on Feb 9th, 2010 at Voyeur in SD.
