Frequently Asked Questions
When is Deadmau5's birthday?
Deadmau5 (real name Joel Zimmerman) was born on January 5, 1981, making him a Capricorn. He's currently 44 years old. Fans celebrate with mouse helmet tributes and streaming his progressive house classics like “Strobe” and “Ghosts ‘n' Stuff.” January 5 has become an unofficial celebration day for progressive house fans.
What DJ was born on Christmas Day?
Armin van Buuren, the legendary Dutch trance DJ and 5-time #1 DJ Mag winner, was born on December 25, 1976 (Christmas Day). He's a Capricorn and one of trance music's most important ambassadors. Fans joke about “A State of Trance” being the best Christmas gift.
Which zodiac sign has the most EDM DJs?
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) dominates with 10+ DJs including Deadmau5, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Tiësto, Hardwell, and Armin van Buuren. Virgo comes second with 9 DJs including Zedd, Kygo, and Avicii. Capricorn traits (ambitious, disciplined, perfectionistic) align well with studio production demands.
Do Skrillex and Flux Pavilion share the same birthday?
Yes! Both dubstep pioneers were born on January 15 (Skrillex in 1988, Flux Pavilion in 1989). This makes them birthday twins and both Capricorns. Fans celebrate January 15 as “Dubstep Day” since two of the genre's most influential artists share this date.
When is Martin Garrix's birthday and how old is he?
Martin Garrix (real name Martijn Garritsen) was born on May 14, 1996, making him 28 years old as of 2025. He's a Taurus. Garrix became the youngest #1 DJ Mag winner at age 17 with his hit “Animals” and remains one of EDM's biggest stars.
Which DJs were born in the same month?
January has the most with 10 DJs (Deadmau5, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Tiësto, Hardwell, and more). September follows with 7 (Zedd, Kygo, Avicii, Afrojack, Moby). These birth clusters create themed “birthday months” for different genres—January for progressive house/dubstep, September for tropical house and trance.
What happened to Avicii and when was his birthday?
Avicii (Tim Bergling) was born September 8, 1989, and tragically passed away on April 20, 2018, at age 28. He was a Virgo. Fans commemorate both his birthday (September 8) and the anniversary of his passing by streaming his music and supporting mental health initiatives through the Avicii Foundation his family established.
Are there any EDM DJs born on February 29 (leap year)?
Not in this comprehensive list. February 29 birthdays are rare (occurring once every 4 years), making it statistically unlikely to find leap year DJs. However, if you discover a DJ born on this date, they'd only celebrate their actual birthday once every four years!
Which month produces the fewest EDM DJs?
Based on this list, April produces the fewest famous EDM DJs with only 2 (Getter on April 14 and Mat Zo on April 30). March and June also have relatively few with 3 each. This could be random statistical variation or potentially related to conception timing patterns.
How can I find out more DJ birthdays not on this list?
For emerging artists and DJs not listed, check: official artist social media (many post birthday celebrations), Wikipedia pages (include birth dates), music databases like Discogs and AllMusic, fan wikis, and DJ Mag Top 100 profiles. Be aware that some DJs keep birth dates private for security reasons.
