Marshmello burst onto the EDM scene in 2015 ,and his true identity has been something of a mystery ever since. Well, after years of wondering, it’s now clear who the man behind the mask is. Though he chooses to live an anonymous life, it was fairly easy to follow the breadcrumbs to find out who he really is, and Skrillex is a major reason why.
After his debut, fans began theorizing about who was really underneath the giant white helmet Marshmello wore on stage. Some wondered if already well-known DJs, like Skrillex, Martin Garrix, or Tiesto, could be Marshmello. Tiesto once trolled his audience by showing up to a gig in a Marshmello mask. None of those guesses were right, though ironically, it was Skrillex who caused the mystery to unravel.
