I seriously have so much respect for this dude. He gets hated so much nowadays because he has gone mainstream, but people should know how hard it is to be as good as him. He DOES HAVE TALENT and people who think he doesn't should just try to be as good as him..
I watched this 2-3 years ago...wow. This interview made me aware of Deadmau5's existence and woke my interest in electronic music, and a year ago I started trying out production myself. It's bizarre being back here again. I'm not a huge Skrillex fan, but I have respect for him for being my gateway into everything since, from Deadmau5 to Aphex Twin to Tim Hecker and Jon Hopkins. Thank you, sir.
It's so strange and awesome to come back to this interview. And it's so refreshing in a interesting way, watching this as a edm producer now. Really a piece of history.
Spot on w the young fanbase. I remember listening to his earliest albums and just being blown away. He brought something special to dubstep though. An extremely talented musician not just dj or producer. His knowledge and understanding of genres is what makes him one of the greats ❤
Francis Madira he sings in scary monsters and nice sprites for example, its a part from a song he and his band made befor the whole dubstep thing. The song is called equonix or some shit like that
Don't... don't... don't do that. Don't fucking ACT like you know what you're talking about and then just abandon the whole thing, dammit... it just makes you look like a poser.
Skrillex is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me!! I'm not even kidding. I listen to a lot of music that means something to me not just party tracks. I have so many good memories while listening to him, seriously there isn't one not ONE bad memory I have listening to him. And it makes me so happy when I do listen to him. It improves my mood and is a great part of my life.
When I was 7 i was introduced to Electronic Music... Never thought dubstep, Techno, House etc. would be as popular as it is now. And this is only 10 years later. I cant wait to see where it is in 5 more when I turn 22. :)
An amazing career followed over the past decade right after this interview. This was captured right at the breaking moment of his career. Right at the start of a big tidal wave of success
anything that has a beat is music in my opinion. I like banarang and I've been listening to him since FFTL. I have one of their shirts xD. Pretty cool to see how much he has grown since then. So even if some of his stuff now isn't considered "music" he is a musician.
Skrillex, you ROCK!!! Your music is my new obsession and I want to learn how to make music like you! I just got FL Studio and learning slowly how it all works. U R AMAZING!
RIZI 03 he tried to quit smoking around 2014 and 2015, but like a lot of smokers they pick up smoking again, but he doesn't smoke as much as he used to now
man, for a lot of people this isn't a trend, when I discovered the dubstep I seen the light... music that can goosebumps you whithout instruments or voice is so epic... (sorry for bad english)
He's 5'4" tall and was bullied so bad by other kids that his parents pulled him out of school. He makes like $100,000 a gig as a DJ, earned like $15 mil in '13. Obviously being short has not hurt him at all. He's adopted & I don't think he's aware of his heritage but his face looks like he's part Asian.
Yeah I've noticed that as well! One obvious explanation is the california accent, but otherwise even their voice, tonations and mannerisms are both so similar!
i love how.... i talk to people about Sonny Moore and people go OOH he was that guitarist for From First to Last right? NO DUDE.... VOCALS.... i love that he's expanded his horizons... and stop hating on his nose... it's beautiful
I hope skrillex goes down in history as a big influential artist. Like so big in 30 years you may hate dubstep but you will know skrillex was. Just like right now how I'm not a fan of rock but I know who Elvis is.
it seems like every time i see skrillex in a thumbnail i think to mysel "hey that girl looks like she might be cute" then i read the title and go ".... oh that's skrillex......"
He's transformed into such a nice person he used to be so quite and shy but now he loves life and everyone in it Much love for Skrillex
He's always been a nice person, it's just he used to have a lot more confidence issues (probably due to his difficult personal background)
I seriously have so much respect for this dude. He gets hated so much nowadays because he has gone mainstream, but people should know how hard it is to be as good as him. He DOES HAVE TALENT and people who think he doesn't should just try to be as good as him..
"From First to Skrillex"
He seems a lot nicer than you would think when listening to his music
True!
what i learned from this: Skrillex is short
Yeah.
Drew Jones forreal
***** taller by him that 4 inches lol
EyeOfTheLauren
I'm 9-10 inches taller than him lol, had no idea he was this short
***** why? don't girls prefer guys who are taller than them?
Most of the comments
60% HE IS SMALL
40% SMOKING IS BAD SKRILLEX!
Me
100% HE IS SO FLUFFING HAWTTT!!! •3•
+FancyKittyRawr Just true ^^^°
he's so short and his voice is adorable OMFS😨😨😨😨
Alex is very tall.
He is cute
He is literally adorable aw
Alex is tall.
he sounds like your normal everyday geek
its literally almost been a year and this is still getting likes ^w^
I was really disappointed when I heard his voice xD
I love him so much!! Everything, his height and his awesome haircut, just EVERYTHING that u could possibly name about him.
Thank you for positivity!
skrillex u are the best!!!i am a greek big fan
I watched this 2-3 years ago...wow. This interview made me aware of Deadmau5's existence and woke my interest in electronic music, and a year ago I started trying out production myself. It's bizarre being back here again.

1: i thought he would be taller
2: i thought we would have a deeper voice
3: i just put this here for no reason
Brava
Ikr he is 5"5 ;O; AHH
in most interviews ppl have to bend over for the mike xD he is so cute
What do you mean you "heard him in Bangarang"?
his voice doesn't sound deep back then but rn his voice changed a bit and he got just a bit taller
I'm 5,3 so I'm shorter lol
I didn't expect that voice...I expected some kind of deep and scary thing
lol skrillex is really short
Its because he smokes
Or Chris is really high
Smoking has nothing to do with it. My cousin smokes, yet he's 6 foot 6 inches.
he's 5 feet 4 inches :P
he's 5,5 now
It's so strange and awesome to come back to this interview.
And it's so refreshing in a interesting way, watching this as a edm producer now.
Really a piece of history.
Agreed
Skrillex is 163 cm. I googled
Smoking won't affect growth if you've already stopped growing
him being short had nothing to do with smoking. tommy lee is 6'3 and the dude smokes like a chimney
Maybe he could've been 6'10 instead? Lol jk
U mean tommy lee from john newmans love me again???!!! :)
Hitesh Kumar Patel it all comes from family that's why
Spot on w the young fanbase. I remember listening to his earliest albums and just being blown away. He brought something special to dubstep though. An extremely talented musician not just dj or producer. His knowledge and understanding of genres is what makes him one of the greats ❤
He Talks, that's pretty nice
In a couple of his songshe actually sings to...
SadChump what songs
Francis Madira he sings in scary monsters and nice sprites for example, its a part from a song he and his band made befor the whole dubstep thing. The song is called equonix or some shit like that
Gustav Lindberg ah okay thanks
Don't... don't... don't do that. Don't fucking ACT like you know what you're talking about and then just abandon the whole thing, dammit... it just makes you look like a poser.
He's beautiful.
oh man he's so short.
Alex is really tall.
Skrillex is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me!! I'm not even kidding. I listen to a lot of music that means something to me not just party tracks.

skrillex is the best! I love you
I love him haha he's so cute ^w^
Ohhhh so this is the guy who breaks my speakers
When I was 7 i was introduced to Electronic Music... Never thought dubstep, Techno, House etc. would be as popular as it is now. And this is only 10 years later. I cant wait to see where it is in 5 more when I turn 22. :)
SKRILLEX your a DUBSTEP GOD
you're*
Fuckjng lol. He doesn't even make dubstep. Dubstep was a UK underground music.
they said it, smoke affect your growth! Dont smoke!
Is Skrillex short, or is that guy really tall?
Both
skrillex 1.63 cm
An amazing career followed over the past decade right after this interview. This was captured right at the breaking moment of his career. Right at the start of a big tidal wave of success
It was awesome to meet Skrillex + film this interview at this very point in time, then watch his trajectory afterward.
Every video I see skrillex is smoking...
Yup.. He thinks he is immune with cigarettes... I guess.
Your profile pic really works with this comment lol!!
Cigarettes are bad for you.
me:What you want to be when you are adult?
Skrillex: I am adult
thumbs up to the audio
Thanks for this man!! Didn't even knew this interview existed
No problem!
I love his voice though xD
he talks?
same, but he smokes weed?
DancingPanda it's a cigarette, there's a video out there of him rejecting weed from a fan
o:
A lot!
dude your freakin lucky i wish could meat skrillex
*you're & *meet
*I wish I*
Dude & Skrillex.
Omg every word of this comment is wrong XDDDD
I finally found someone who literally sucks at typing out a phrase and then hitting "Post" on a screen.
anything that has a beat is music in my opinion. I like banarang and I've been listening to him since FFTL. I have one of their shirts xD. Pretty cool to see how much he has grown since then. So even if some of his stuff now isn't considered "music" he is a musician.
Okay. He's short. Too short. But he's still taller than me. :'(
Azuel Zorro he's 5,5
Dangit he's tall then. XD
Guys he is the same height as me
What if....Skrillex...was a girl..?
+DemQuezzy Official I thought he was at first xD
cx
Not much he would be the same thats mostly towards he looks like one xD
Well This " Girl " Dated Ellie Goulding
o really?
r they still dating?
Skrillex, you ROCK!!! Your music is my new obsession and I want to learn how to make music like you! I just got FL Studio and learning slowly how it all works. U R AMAZING!
Shortest guys are the best. Don't you believe to me? Look at Messi.
PEWDIEPIE OF FOOTBALL
I'm Twice his size
So you are 10' 8"?
Yep Mad?
I'm taller than him I'm 10
sven oosterdijk tallest guy on earth
I'm three times his size!
Wish he stayed in from first to last or at least in the metal/hardcore genre, this skrillex thing is just weird
Jorell hines agree
Well thank god he didnt lol
I just came to see him talk. His voice seems higher than I seemed.
Skrillex is a great artist but he smokes. Smoking is bad. He should consider quitting smoking.
Um... OK? Thanks... there, friend...
He quit in 2015
RIZI 03 he tried to quit smoking around 2014 and 2015, but like a lot of smokers they pick up smoking again, but he doesn't smoke as much as he used to now
I'm glad he quit smoking.
his voice doesn't match his face............
Beautiful interview Thank you !
man, for a lot of people this isn't a trend, when I discovered the dubstep I seen the light... music that can goosebumps you whithout instruments or voice is so epic... (sorry for bad english)
He is beautiful I want to meet him :) Thanks for uploading this.
You're welcome !
he seems so soft and nice!!
He's 5'4" tall and was bullied so bad by other kids that his parents pulled him out of school. He makes like $100,000 a gig as a DJ, earned like $15 mil in '13. Obviously being short has not hurt him at all. He's adopted & I don't think he's aware of his heritage but his face looks like he's part Asian.
He's part Mexican
Song at the start is devils den by skrillex for those who were asking
Yeah I've noticed that as well! One obvious explanation is the california accent, but otherwise even their voice, tonations and mannerisms are both so similar!
Proud to be part of that 99.9% :)
he is so intelligent. he deserves all of his success.
Agreed!
Wal mart should sell little plushie versions of Skrillex. He's so cute~!
that's kinda cringe... 😒
QuQ mr.skrillz sir, pwease do make your way to dallas, Tx area... Pwease
short, kawaii voice , kawaii face. OMFG YOU'RE THE ONE!
it talks? O.O and with THAT voice?! my brain.. is just BUSHSHSHH
Never heard skrillex talk so this is a shock to me did not expect this to be his voice
Sonny is so short, it's adorable! X3
He has the voice of an angel
it's funny to see how everyone's just shocked about his voice.@-@
0:13 Black Ops advert, nostalgia value
True!
Wow watching this now is insane. He became the absolute GOAT
So long ago!
I just love THE DROPS As long as the song has a good drop its all good!!!!
I never thought Skrillex's voice would sound like this. AWESOME!
no me canso de mirarlo.... loveskrillex!
i love how.... i talk to people about Sonny Moore and people go OOH he was that guitarist for From First to Last right? NO DUDE.... VOCALS.... i love that he's expanded his horizons... and stop hating on his nose... it's beautiful
Sonny looks like Leonard Hofstader from the big bang theory
Woah, I never realized how short Mr. Skrillex was.
Skrillex isn't as tall as I thought he would be, and his voice is higher that I thought it would be. He still looks pretty handsome, though.
It really does. Epic Rap Battles of History is misleading with Skrillex's voice, but we have to realize that this was a couple years ago.
I hope skrillex goes down in history as a big influential artist. Like so big in 30 years you may hate dubstep but you will know skrillex was. Just like right now how I'm not a fan of rock but I know who Elvis is.
aww sonny looks soo cute! hes small & thats cute. :3
WHAT GLASSES IS SONNY WEARING !? I WANT THEM SOOO BADD ;_;
I don't smoke you helped me I would listen to your music when I was dipressed and still do
Awwww he is so cute ^^
Skrillex is so short and it's adorable!
it seems like every time i see skrillex in a thumbnail i think to mysel "hey that girl looks like she might be cute" then i read the title and go ".... oh that's skrillex......"
To think this guy will be huge.
I feel good about skrillex he is a great artist among many other long live dubstep
I'm not sure if I dig it but skrillex seems cool. Much respect.
aye mate lol took me awhile to figure that out too but my homie met him once when he was touring with his band before skrillex
i can listen to skrillex ALL DAMN DAY LONG
I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH
Good music!
Forgot how short he was. Such a badass though. Respect.
ALEX CHAPMAN SENT ME HERE OMG KING
From where ?!
That deserves a thumbs up.
you made that genre up, didnt you?!
Song name: my name is skrillex
My nigga skrillex
thats the same reason that I, along with everyone else from today, is watching this video
i has crush on skrillex
People are walking past him on the street like he isn't the Jesus of Dubstep ?! ♥
Thank you:)
Oh goodness! Why do people feel the need to hate? He is awesome at what he does.. And none of you have ever met him, so why are you judging?
I bought Ibeats just to listen to skrillex right and now I need solos
