Zedd who is a Russian-German songwriter, DJ and record producer began his career in Germany. In 2012, he released his track Clarity which featured the Foxes, and reached the 8th position on the “Billboard Hot 100”, earning him the “Best Dance Recording” at the 56th Grammy Awards.

Additionally, he released his debut studio album Clarity including hit single “Stay the Night” appearing on the deluxe edition of the album in 2013.

His second studio album True Colors reportedly released in 2015. The hit song of the album was “I Want You To Know” featuring Selena Gomez. Other top songs of the album include “Stay” with Alessia Cara, “The Middle” with Grey and Maren Morris and “Break Free” with Ariana Grande, peaking at number 4 in the United States.

Reportedly, China previously banned animated comedy series South Park from online sites just as it dropped Unites States basketball broadcasts, and also banned Zedd for liking the tweet by South Park. It may be speculated that this ban may have been put in motion due to the ongoing trade war between China and America as Zedd has many connections with American celebrities. Similarly, it maybe due to American media criticising Chinese censorship regime.
