Early Life and Career Beginnings
Marshmello, whose real name is Christopher Comstock, was born in 1992 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He first started gaining recognition in early 2015, when he began posting original songs to SoundCloud.

Comstock went on to hold performances at venues and events such as New York's Pier 94 and Miami Music Week.
Through his label Joytime Collective, Comstock, now going by the pseudonym Marshmello, released his debut album "Joytime" in early 2016. The album peaked at number five on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs chart, and spawned the hit single "Keep it Mello."
