The other
week EDM Chicago posted an article written by an anonymous blogger titled
"Five Oddly Compelling Reasons Marshmello is
Martin Garrix". For those of you living under a rock and haven't heard of
Marshmello yet, he is a pretty talented producer who has been stirring up
debate across blogs and social media for the past year. Marshmello wants to be
judged for his music - not the person he is, so as a result he wears an all
white outfit and a marshmallow headpiece while performing his sets. No denying
he produces a lot of good music, but he is backed by some big names in the
industry such as Skrillex and JAUZ, which have helped him gain popularity
immensely. The rumors of who Marshmello actually is have been going on since
his first release but after you look at some evidence it's pretty clear all
roads lead to producer DotCom, not Martin Garrix. The "compelling
reasons" that the article suggested Marshmello is Garrix consist of
posture, logo design, tour dates, clothing styles and go-to hype phrase. Garrix
and Marshmello’s non-conflicting tour dates would probably be the only valid
reason to have some belief that Garrix could be Marshmello but the rest of the
reasons are pretty subpar proof. On the other hand, there is some pretty valid
evidence Marshmello could be DotCom. During Katie Couric’s interview with
Skrillex (see interview below), Skrillex received a phone call from Marshemllo
and said “Hi Chris” as he answered the phone - Dotcom’s real name is Chris
Comsworth. Another piece of evidence that I personally came across was on my
twitter feed where Prince Fox tweets “Aaand @iamDOTCOM and @MtEdenOfficial
enter the building” and in under a minute ThisSongSlaps.com tweeted “Sunday
Funday with @PrinceFoxMusic and friends live. @marshmellomusic in the room”(see tweet below).
There is a lot of other pressing evidence that Dotcom is in fact Marshmello but
those two pieces alone were enough for me. I don’t see Marshmello ever coming
out and confirming identity solely because the amount of debate creates so much
buzz for him it’s free marketing.
