When reached by phone, his lawyer declined to comment on his identity, as did his agent. Through his manager, Marshmello, a 30 Under 30 Music Class of 2018 honoree, did not respond to a request for comment on his identity. (As of this morning, Comstock had reappeared on the BMI website with a sole credit for 'Nope.')

Thankfully, previously-captured screenshots chronicle the credits. A Borgore and Dotcom track, 'Nope,' which had previously appeared in searches for both Comstock and his alias Marshmello, had also been removed from the online repertoire. Searching for Comstock as a songwriter rendered zero results. Such similarity is typically because applications for both the legal name and pseudonym were submitted in quick succession.īut just 12 hours after I sent an email for comment to Marshmello's management with links to BMI's database showing the same results for Comstock and Marshmello, Comstock had been wiped from BMI's website. With Marshmello and the other artists mentioned, there is a difference of 98 between the pseudonym CAE/IPI and legal name CAE/IPI. Every pseudonym is identified by a different nine-digit number, or CAE/IPI pseudonyms typically differ only slightly from the real name's CAE/IPI. From Lil Wayne to Lady Gaga, each artist's legal name renders the same song list as their stage name. Celebrity Net Worth reports that he has a whopping $40 million in the bank, mainly through touring and private gigs.Īnd speaking of money, Forbes reports that Marshmello’s helmet costs $55,000 and has an internal air-conditioning system and programmable LED lights, and it weighs just eight pounds.This is just like searching for Aubrey Drake Graham and seeing Drake's discography, or looking up Marshall Mathers and finding the track listing for Eminem. I mean, plenty of DJs who came before Marshmello never took off their masks either, so he’s in good company! (Note: The duo Daft Punk is probably the most famous to wear masks while performing- though there are a few unmasked pics of them lurking out there too.) Being Masked Makes Moneyĭespite not revealing his identity, Marshmello has earned a huge amount of money as a DJ. It’s just listening to music, seeing the helmet and things that I say, which is fine, but I don’t think it’s about specifically who I am.”Īnd his manager Moe Shalizi also explained the decision to remain anonymous to Forbes, saying, “For us it was, how do you create a brand that is accessible to everybody, that everyone can be and relate to? The concept we had in mind with Mello was, How do you create a universal character?” He also more recently told the Recording Academy that Shockwave (where Marshmello uses his own voice) is “not really about following a person around and watching everything they do. The helmet makes me marshmello and also makes you marshmello.we are all marshmello- marshmello August 6, 2017 Katie mused, “It’s Chris,” to which Skrillex responded “Oh, Marshmello.”

Impressive detective work, but, TBH, hints were also there as early as 2015, when Katie Couric interviewed Skrillex and he got a phone call midway through.

The outlet also talked to anonymous sources who confirmed that Chris Comstock = Dotcom = Marshmello. Then on November 14, 2017, Forbes declared they were ready to “conclusively report that they are the same person,” citing Marshmello being on Dotcom/Christopher Comstock’s management roster and the fact that the manager listed on Marshmello’s holding company is Christopher Comstock. Which, uh, happens to be the same day as Christopher’s b-day. The ~UNMASKING~ actually happened in part thanks to Skrillex, who posted a video celebrating Marshmello’s birthday on May 19, 2016. Marshmello’s identity was kept top top TOPPPPPP secret for a while there, but he was revealed to be DJ Christopher Comstock (who also goes by Dotcom) back in 2017. Marshmello Is *Probably* Dotcom (aka Chris Comstock)

Just note: Marshmello hasn’t technically confirmed his identity himself-although it’s 99.9% obvious who he is-so take this all with the teensiest grain of salt. We went ahead and did a deep dive and found *drumroll, pls* THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK.
