Timeline
Steven Zhu, known mononymously as Zhu (stylized in all caps; born April 28, 1989), is an American electronic music producer and singer who has been active since the beginning of 2014, signed to Mind of a Genius Records.
A member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, he graduated from the USC Thornton School of Music in 2011.
That year, he released a remix of experimental electro outfit BluntGuitar's "We Fell Off" on Los Angeles indie label No Ego Records, which was licensed to MTV and appeared in an episode of a Jersey Shore spinoff entitled The Pauly D Project.
As part of "52 to ZHU", an ambitious project in which he released a new track every week for a year from summer 2011 to summer 2012, he released "Brute (Bad Bitch)," a progressive electro-house number featuring singer/model Cassie Cardelle.
The track led his debut EP, Introducing Zhu, which featured three other tracks: "Radar", also featuring Cardelle, "Back to You" featuring Angela Via, and "Stalemate (Vibe Together)".
After EDM trio Krewella, following several years of touring and a radio hit with the song "Alive", debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 with their debut album Get Wet, the group's manager Jake Udell, a friend of ZHU's from high school, immediately sought out ZHU and eventually signed him to his talent management firm TH3RD BRAIN.
Until mid-2014, ZHU remained anonymous, asking to be judged by his music alone.
ZHU's first track, "Moves Like Ms Jackson", a mashup of several songs by Outkast, was released anonymously in February 2014 and was positively received by blogs and reviewers covering electronic music.
Other tracks appeared on the music streaming site SoundCloud throughout February and March, followed by an EP titled The Nightday in April 2014, which earned a number 1 play of the week on Triple J.
The first single from The Nightday, titled "Faded", drew support from Pete Tong, who named it an "Essential New Tune" on his radio show on BBC Radio 1.
"Faded" was released in March 2014, and quickly climbed the global charts, peaking at number 3 in Australia and the UK, and number 12 on the US Dance/Electronic chart.
"Faded" was certified platinum in Australia in 2014 and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
In a November 2014 interview, Zhu's manager Jake Udell described the current music climate as "very black and white" and acknowledged that Zhu's race played a role in the decision to release and market his music anonymously, saying: "Some of us don't even know the limitations of our own prejudice. Rather than put those limitations to the test, we've created an engaging way for fans to focus on the music rather than who's behind it."
Zhu stated in a February 2015 interview that "the project [ZHU] is all about art, and we try to make it about the songs and the response."
On May 15, 2015, Zhu appeared on Pete Tong's "After Hours" show and performed a 40-minute DJ mix, mostly consisting of unreleased remixes, and also announced the Nightday Collection clothing line.
On November 6, 2015, Zhu released a collaborative EP titled Genesis Series.
It featured appearances from Skrillex, AlunaGeorge, A-Trak, and Bone Thugs N Harmony, among others.
The EP received critical acclaim for its diverse sound and diverse range of talent.
"Working for It", the lead collaboration with Skrillex and THEY., reached the top 40 and was certified platinum in Australia.
It also charted on the US Dance/Electronic chart.

ZHU's Coachella performance was praised, with a writer for the New York Observer suggesting that he could be "the next Daft Punk".
ZHU is of Chinese heritage and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area.
He played in jazz bands and orchestral practices at school, and later studied music at the University of Southern California.
In 2016, the single "In the Morning" was released.
After his Neon City Tour, he announced that his debut album, Generationwhy, would be released on July 29, 2016, and that "In the Morning" was the first single from the album.
On June 13, 2016, Zhu released the title track, "Generationwhy", as the second single from the album.
