In 2017, his collaboration with Khalid, "Silence", and with Selena Gomez, "Wolves", were released and became internationally successful. In February 2018, he released "Friends" with Anne-Marie, for her debut studio album Speak Your Mind. In June 2018, Marshmello released his second studio album, Joytime II, with singles "Tell Me" and "Check This Out".

His stage name, Marshmello, is a misspelling of marshmallow. He wears a custom helmet loosely based on a marshmallow for public appearances. He covers his identity similarly to other electronic music artists such as Deadmau5 and Daft Punk, and has falsely revealed himself as Tiësto, Will Ferrell, and Shawn Mendes in the past. Throughout his career, he has also collaborated with artists including Omar LinX, Slushii, Jauz, Ookay, Lil Peep, Logic, Bastille and Amr Diab.

Appearance

Deadmau5 inspired Marshmello's appearance and style.
Marshmello wears a custom helmet for public appearances. His identity was unknown, but was confirmed in late 2017 by Forbes.[8]

Marshmello's stage name, an alternative spelling of "marshmallow", and his marshmallow mascot head were both inspired by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5, who also notably uses an alternate spelling for his stage name and performs wearing a "dead mouse" mascot head.[57] Acknowledgement of Deadmau5's contribution to Marshmello's persona is evident in the music video for "Alone", which features Marshmello's pet mouse, Joel (Deadmau5's real name).[58] Marshmello also referenced Deadmau5 with a variant of his helmet (with a third ear) featured in the original edit of "Ritual"'s music video.[59] This was removed at deadmau5's request.[60][61]

While Marshmello's initial identity was not initially confirmed, the most widespread speculation was that he is Chris Comstock, also known as Dotcom.[8][62][63][64][7][8] The speculation was confirmed as true in 2017.[48]

Musical style
His musical style includes groove-oriented, synth and bass-heavy electronic dance music.[7] Inspired by other masked DJs like Deadmau5 and Daft Punk, Marshmello appears wearing a full-head-covering white coloured bucket.[65] Despite the anonymity, his career received international recognition in 2015 when he began releasing tracks online, including remixes of Zedd's "Beautiful Now", Jack Ü's "Where Are Ü Now" and others, as well as his own single "Alone".
