Marshmello is the stage name of Christopher Comstock. He is an American disc jockey (DJ), electronic music producer, and internet personality who began his career in 2015 and soon gained international recognition. Among some of his most distinguished songs are “Wolves”, “Friends”, “Happier”, and “Alone”, all of which are in collaborations with established artists such as Selena Gomez, Anne-Marie, and Bastille.
Ever since he rose to prominence, Marshmello has released three studio projects titled Joytime. Thanks to his successful career, in 2017, Forbes magazine named him one of the highest-paid DJ in the world.
Outside of his music career, the Internet personality has amassed more than 45 million subscribers on his YouTube channel where he frequently posts music, gaming, and cooking videos.
Marshmello is famous because of his funny personality and exciting music style. Besides electronic and future bounce, the DJ has also created many trap, future bass, and progressive house tracks. He was born on May 19, 1992, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Inspired by the Canadian producer Deadmau5’s style and appearance, he first began recording his own music in the mid-2010s.
His first song named “Wavez” was posted on his SoundCloud account in early 2015. After consistently releasing new singles on the online music platform, Marshmello caught the attention of several artists including Skrillex with whom he began friends. Soon, he received offers to perform in various festivals and concerts such as California’s Hard Day of the Dead, Miami Music Week, New York’s Pier 94, and Pomona.
Marshmello became rich right after the release of his first studio project – Joytime. The album was released in January 2016 and it quickly entered the US Billboard 200 chart, where it peaked at number 5.
A few months later, the electronic music producer performed at the well-known Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, marking his first appearance on a big event.
Towards the end of 2016, Marshmello embarked on his very first world tour, performing not only in the United States but in China, India, Paraguay, and South Korea for the remaining months. His first mainstream song to achieve international success, “Silence”, which features R&B singer Khalid, was released in August 2017.
By the end of the year, the popular DJ earned an estimated $21 million, because of which Forbes magazine named him the eighth highest-paid DJ in the world. By this time Marshmello’s net worth is estimated to have been over $40 million already. And things were just hotting up.
The talented musician’s second album, titled Joytime II, was released in June 2018. The album became his first project to top a US Billboard chart (Top Dance/Electronic Albums).
A few months later, in January 2019, Marshmello announced his collaboration with the widely-popular free-to-play video game Fortnite Battle Royale. The DJ threw a virtual in-game concert and also released his own game-based merchandise. The concert was a huge success, as it quickly amassed more than 10 million players in just the first day.
In the summer of 2019, he released his album, Joytime III, which was just successful as his previous two. The album includes collaborations with various producers such as Crankdat, Wiwek, Flux Pavilion, Elohim, Slushii, and Bellecour among others. He released his latest album Shockwave, in 2021.

Besides being an activist for the ASPCA campaign, he also teamed up with famous gamer Ninja with whom he won a charity tournament organized by Epic Games. The two donated half of the million to various children organizations.
Marshmello is young and incredibly wealthy. He is one of the richest DJs in the world along the likes of Swedish House Mafia and Martin Garrix. He still has a long way to go to catch up with the very richest DJs in the world DJ Tiesto and Calvin Harris who are both worth more than $150 million.
