He’s one of the most popular music producers in the world, but few have ever seen his face. The mystery surrounding Marshmello’s identity was, initially, one of the reasons for his popularity. Even famous DJ Skrillex was obsessed with finding out who Marshmello was. Marshmello’s look is defined by his marshmallow-shaped helmet that has its own air-conditioning and lighting system. A bright, all-white suit completes his marshmallow-themed look. As for the name, it comes from a comment a friend made, which described his music as “mellow” and easy to listen to. The multitalented Marshmello is not just a DJ but also a producer and a songwriter. He stays independent from record labels so that he’s free to make and release music the way he wants to. That hasn’t hurt his bottom line, though. He has worked together with some of the biggest names in pop music, like Bastille on the track “Happier,” and Selena Gomez on “Wolves.” His live shows can earn him over $100,000 per performance. 他去年賺了超過四千萬美元但仍然拒絕告訴任何人他的名字。他是世界上最受歡迎的音樂製作人之一,但很少人看過他的臉。一開始,棉花糖身分神祕是他受歡迎的原因之一。甚至連著名的DJ史奇雷克斯都熱衷於查明棉花糖是誰。 棉花糖的外表是由他那頂棉花糖形狀的頭盔所界定,這頂頭盔有自己的空調和照明系統。一身明亮、全白的服裝讓他以棉花糖為主題的外表變得完整。至於名字則是來自一位朋友的評論,說他的音樂柔和且輕鬆悅耳。 多才多藝的棉花糖不僅是一名DJ,還是音樂製作人和詞曲作者。他獨立於唱片公司之外,這樣就可以用他想要的方式自由製作和發行音樂。不過,那無損於他的財務盈虧。他曾和流行樂中幾位鼎鼎有名的大明星合作,如巴士底樂團的歌曲〈Happier〉以及席琳娜.戈梅茲的〈狼群〉。他的現場演出每場可為他賺入超過十萬美元。 Nobody has been able to confirm Marshmello’s real name, and the man in white has been cagey in interviews―often only indicating yes or no or typing an answer on his laptop. Marshmello first appeared in 2015 and was known for his remixes of popular songs, such as Anne-Marie’s “Friends.” Later, his first album Joytime reached number five on the Billboard US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. The DJ’s biggest success so far was an unusual one. He recorded a 30-minute concert within the online video game Fortnite. With their weapons turned off, players could dance, fly, and dodge flying balls while Marshmello played. There was even a special dance that gamers could have their characters perform: the Marsh Walk. Marshmello said he was happy that some people got to experience their first concert in the game. You might imagine that all this attention would go to Marshmello’s head. However, you’ll be happy to hear that the producer is keeping it real. Marshmello tweeted that he would never take off his helmet because he does not want or need fame. His only goal: to create something positive that people can connect with. 沒有人能夠確認棉花糖的真實姓名,而這名穿著一身白的男子在採訪中總是惜話如金——通常只是表示是或否,或是在他的筆電上輸入答案。棉花糖最早在二○一五年出場表演,並以混編流行歌曲聞名,比如安—瑪莉的〈Friends〉。後來他的首張專輯《Joytime》登上美國《告示牌》舞蹈/電子專輯排行榜第五名。 這名DJ到目前為止最成功之處極為特別。他在線上電玩遊戲《要塞英雄》中錄製了一段三十分鐘的音樂會。放下武器,玩家可以在棉花糖演出時跳舞、飛行和玩躲避飛球。玩家甚至可以讓他們的角色表演一種特殊舞蹈:棉花糖走步。棉花糖表示他很高興有些人能在遊戲中體驗到他們的第一場音樂會。 你可能會猜想這些關注會讓棉花糖沖昏了頭。然而,你會很高興聽到這名製作人持續做自己。棉花糖在推特上發文表示他永遠不會拿下頭盔,因為他不想要也不需要名聲。他唯一的目標是創造人們能產生共鳴的正面事物。
