Background

Raised in Kaiserslautern, Zedd rose to mainstream success with his 2012 single "Clarity", which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and won Best Dance Recording at the 56th Grammy Awards. It served as the third single for his debut studio album of the same name (2012), of which its deluxe edition spawned the US top 20 single "Stay the Night".
