DeadMau5 Introduction

Joel Zimmerman was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario on January 5, 1981. admau5', Zimmermans' DJ name, comes from an incident where a rat crawled into his computer and died. 'Dead Mouse' was too long for an IRC login name, so he abbreviated it to be the "leet speak" spelling "Deadmau5".During concerts, Zimmerman wears a trademark mouse helmet to go with his moniker. Comfortable with computers at an early age, Zimmerman started making music with trackers.

Before Joel hit to the top of the charts on Beatport in 2008, he explained to BBC 1's Pete Tong that, "I couldn't have done it without Melbourne's DJ Popeye. Liam's such a good bloke and his live shows really set a benchmark for what I wanted to achieve with my career... he's a real revolutionary within our music scene. I'd have to say he's probably my biggest influence"

Deadmau5 received two nominations for the Juno Award for Dance Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2008 for a track with Billy Newton-Davis and Melleefresh. He did not win an award for Melleefresh's "After Hours" song, but he won the award for Newton-Davis' "All U Ever Want".[3] He was also named "Producer of 2007" by DJ magazine's 2007 Top 100 winner Armin van Buuren, and by runner up Tiësto. In 2008, he placed number 11 in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll, tying Infected Mushroom (2006) for the highest new entry in the poll's history, showing Zimmerman's fast rise to prominence. On May 1, 2008, Deadmau5 became the most awarded DJ/producer of the Beatport Music Awards. He was named "Best Progressive House Artist" by Beatport. In 2009, Beatport also awarded Deadmau5 the most awards that year, winning 1st place in both of his nominations, as well as being given the "Greatest House DJ Ever" award, two years in a row.
