to rest at #2. He has since produced remixes of well-known artists of the likes of The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Skrillex,

plug-ins including the Sylenth1, Nexus and Omnisphere synthesizers.
In 2011, Zedd's remixes of Lady Gaga's tracks 'Born This Way' and 'Marry the Night' would appear on the special edition of her
second studio album, Born This Way (2011). In September, Zedd's single 'Shave It' was premiered as a thirty second
teaser on Skrillex's YouTube page, this being Zedd's first release on OWSLA records.
