Here's What DJ Marshmello Looks Like Under That Infamous Helmet
The famous DJ worked diligently to maintain anonymity, but his cover seems to have been blown.
Everyone loves a bit of mystery, and DJ Marshmello capitalised on that by concealing his face behind a giant marshmallow mask, never removing it during performances.
His enigmatic persona catapulted him to stardom, as he collaborated with renowned artists such as Selena Gomez, Khalid, and the late Juice Wrld.
However, some might argue that Marshmello's true identity has always intrigued people more than his music. People always wanted to know who was hiding behind that ridiculous mask, and it's always been hard to tell whether they turned up at Marshmello's performance for the music or for a slim chance at finally learning the mysterious artist's true identity.
Marshmello enjoyed teasing his fans, even removing his mask mid-performance at EDC Las Vegas in 2016 to reveal the famous DJ Tiesto. However, this was merely an elaborate ruse to generate more buzz. Marshmello later repeated this stunt at the iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards in August 2018, with singer Shawn Mendes unmasking himself as Marshmello.
At one point, Will Ferrell also claimed to be the person behind the iconic mask. However, fans appeared to have grown tired of the DJ's antics and demanded his true identity be revealed. Forbes magazine responded to their pleas, publishing an in-depth article that finally unmasked DJ Marshmello.
According to the article, DJ Marshmello is, in fact, DJ Dotcom, otherwise known as Chris Comstock. While Dotcom is a relatively lesser-known DJ with a modest following, Forbes uncovered some information pointing to Marshmello's true identity, such as Skrillex referring to Marshmello as Chris and the fact that both Marshmello and Dotcom share the same leg tattoo. Convincing evidence, wouldn't you agree?
It seems it's no longer a secret who the person hiding behind the Marshmello mask is, although neither Marshmello nor Dotcom have commented on the rumours that they are the same person.
Regardless, DJ Marshmello remains a highly popular DJ, and people continue to adore him not only for his mystery but also for his music and collaborations. That admiration will persist, regardless of who is concealed behind the grotesque mask.
