Sonny John Moore, known as Skrillex, is an American DJ and music producer born on January 15, 1988, in Los Angeles, California, United States.

Sonny Moore rose to club and mainstream fame starting in 2008, when he transitioned from being the post-hardcore frontman for From First to Last to creating the dancefloor-focused project, Skrillex. He initially used the name for live DJ sets, but in 2009 the project moved into studio work with Skrillex remixing artists like Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg.

He continues to thrive in mainstream success, performing massive live sets, releasing tracks that gather millions of streams, producing for artists like Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla Sign, and Ellie Goulding, and forming the duo Jack U with fellow successful producer Thomas "Diplo" Pentz.
