At just 22, Porter Robinson has already experienced the success that many older DJs can only dream about. Robinson was inspired to become a DJ by playing the video game Dance Dance Revolution, and he began practicing at age thirteen. At age 18, his first EP caught the attention of fellow American artist Skrillex, who immediately signed young Robinson to his label OWSLA. The same EP immediately made it to the top of the charts at Beatport, where it remained for several weeks. This set him on the fast track for DJ superstardom, and he began touring and performing at the festival circuit that same year. These days, Robinson can be seen playing at some of the most prestigious nightclubs and festivals around the world. In 2014, the 22 year old star released his first full artist album to rave reviews.
