Attention MelloGang, the day has finally come; the identity behind the white mask we all love so much has been revealed to the public. After months of speculating about the man (or maybe even woman) behind the mask, video proof of who Marshmello is has been posted via Instagram.
On March 4, the electro house and dubstep producer and DJ, FeedMe, posted an Instagram story of another performer wearing the Mello head, a seemingly harmless post. But what FeedMe did not realize was that Marshmello, dressed fully in his white get-up, was caught in the reflection of a mirror behind the group, distinctly identifying the man behind the infamous white mask. As many and most of the MelloGang had speculated for months and even years, the man behind the Marshmello persona is in fact DJ Chris Comstock, better known as DotCom.
DotCom is a dubstep, trap, and electronic music DJ like the Marshmello persona, but the two have very different and unique styles. DotCom’s style is more hard-hitting and head-banging while Marshmello’s is more pop, lyrical, and mainstream EDM. Both personas are equally as talented, but they cater to highly different fan bases, putting them in two very separate categories. Thanks to FeedMe, we can finally put the question of who Marshmello is to rest and focus on what is really important; the music! With a new song with Ookay released about a month ago and Coachella, EDC Japan, and Middlelands coming up within the next few months, we should be expecting some surprises from Marshmello this festival season.
If you are a DotCom fan, check out Marshmello and if you are a part of the MelloGang, check out DotCom; I have a feeling you may find something there you will like.
