ABOUT
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.

What They're Saying
Artist Endorsements
"I'm just saying 'pants and feet' and 'feet and pants' like pretty much over and over and over to the melody of 'Photograph' and it's hilarious and we think it's so funny! I mean... this guy put some serious effort and time into this thing..."
Chad Kroeger - Nickelback
re: PantsFeet
"I love it, it's so funny and a great mash-up. If you listen to it from a distance, it's completely Man! I Feel Like A Woman but if you hear it loud and close, it's totally Marilyn Manson. Something like that reminds you a lot of music goes beyond the artist to take on a life of its own."
Shania Twain
re: Man I Feel Beautiful
"I wrote ‘September.’ LOVE this!!"
Allee Willis - Composer of “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire
re: “Earth, Wind, & Ozzys”

The B-52's
re: “Detroit Rock Lobster”

Tom Morello - Rage Against The Machine
re: “Hey Trump”
