One of the most distinctive and influential characters in electronic music, multi-Grammy Award winning Sonny Moore remains the most discussed and in-demand artists in electronic music since emerging as Skrillex in 2010. From his hardcore roots to his weighty drop science, Sonny has gone on to develop bass music in countless creative directions as an artist and as the OWSLA label founder. Regarded as one of the most exciting, daring labels in electronic music, under Sonny’s captaincy OWSLA have been responsible for breaking the careers of M-Machine, Zedd and Porter Robinson. Whether he’s smashing it with Boys Noize as Dogblood or dazzling crowds of over 100,000 with his technically complex live performances, Skrillex continues to operate at the very forefront of the game.

We can’t wait to hear it.
