He’s the older brother of Anton Zaslavski, widely recognized by his stage name Zedd—a name that’s become synonymous with electronic music success. Like his younger sibling, he developed a passion for music early on, diving into the world of sound and rhythm during their formative years. While Zedd focused on mastering the piano, he found his groove playing the guitar, building a strong musical bond between the two brothers. Over time, that shared love for music evolved into a career, and today, he works as a music producer, carving out his own space in the industry. Born in Saratov, Russia, he didn’t spend much of his childhood there—his family moved to Germany, where he was raised and where much of his artistic development took place. Growing up in a household filled with melody and discipline, it’s no surprise music became his path. After all, both of his parents are accomplished music teachers: his father specializing in guitar instruction, and his mother bringing her expertise in piano to students. Being around such talent undoubtedly shaped his journey—and while Zedd may be the more publicly recognized name, his brother continues to make meaningful contributions behind the scenes.
