Faded is still number one

Twelve years later the first single still tops his Spotify list, with two remixes of it in the top ten.

2014

Before anyone saw his face

He grew up in the Bay Area playing in jazz bands and graduated from USC Thornton in 2011. For his first months as ZHU nobody knew who he was, because he wanted the music judged on its own. Faded went top 3 in the UK and Australia and got a Grammy nod for Best Dance Recording anyway.
