WHO AM I
DJ Cummerbund is a mashup mastermind whose viral remixes have redefined the genre. Since bursting onto the scene in 2014, he's amassed millions of views across YouTube and TikTok with absurdly seamless blends that shouldn't work—but do. Fusing artists as unlikely as Rammstein and Wild Cherry, or Nickelback and Earth, Wind & Fire, his work has earned praise from icons like Dave Grohl, Green Day, KISS, and Shania Twain.
His creations have been featured by major outlets NPR, Vice, Forbes, and Nerdist, and even played live by Foo Fighters and Nickelback. He’s a Webby and MTV VMA winner, and his official collaboration with The B-52s led to appearances on their farewell tour and Las Vegas residencies.
Known for his chaotic genius, Randy Savage tributes, and even a brief (painful) stint in pro wrestling, DJ Cummerbund continues to delight fans with music that breaks every rule—and still hits every beat.
