- Sonny John Moore was born on January 15th, 1988 in Los Angeles California. He was adopted at birth by family friends of his biological parents, but he didn’t find this out until he was 16, when he was confused for another child of this family friend at a grocery store. He reportedly hasn’t spoken to his biological mother in years. He spent the first 2 years of his life living in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, but he moved to the Forest Hill neighborhood of San Francisco when he was 2, where he attended elementary school. During his summers at the ages of 9 and 10, he attended a boarding school in the Mojave Desert in Las Vegas, and there was actually a pony that he would take care of and feed every morning while at the school. He even had to clean up its poop. After each summer in boarding school he would go back to Northern California, but when he was 12, his family moved back to Los Angeles, where he has been living ever since, and he now owns multiple properties in the area.

Thank you for watching! If you enjoyed the video feel free to subscribe to get updates when I put out new documentaries. If there is an artist you want me to cover next, let me know in the comments!
No mention of his earlier bands, At Risk, The Riots, and Hazel-Rah? I guess it is pretty obscure. Great video tho, all in all!
Dang I totally missed those and hadn't heard of them until now! I just found the At Risk album on TH-cam, but do you know where I can find more about The Riots and Hazel-Rah? It's pretty wild how much music he made before starting Skrillex
@@audioeats the other 2 are highschool bands he brought up in interviews and a weird post about a CD he made someone found. We have never heard from them and he mentioned them only 1 time. They probably never even released anything. Don't beat yourself up tho this was a sweet vid
yo do u have any of the riots songs u could send me
@@Hijacked_ nobody does. There are some At Risk songs but none for the other two.
@@familialdysautosis2717 hmm well they do exist in fact iv talked to the drummer of the riots (sean friday) and he says he has songs in his google drive
Great video
I’ve been binging your videos. Love this style, keep it up!
Could you make a documentary on 12th Planet? He’s kind of like Skrillex, But he was a bit before Skrillex.
Definitely! 12th Planet is dope, I'll add him to the list
@@audioeats You like 12th Planet too? Awesome… Speaking of 12th Planet, He had a B2B Set with Skrillex @ Ultra Miami 2012, so If you aren’t Skrillex’d out, You should definitely check it out.
@@audioeatsforgot to say, I wouldn’t cover too too much after 2014. After his set @ Ultra Miami 2014, He stopped making actually good music.
@@MrTrex54 I was at that set :)
@@geman220 It Was EPIC, Also, (If You didn’t Know) The set was actually recorded. It’s pretty rare to get but, UMF Radio posted the set on Mixcloud. As of like 3 Months ago, It is still up.
It’s 2024 and I’m waiting on contra still 😭
I know right 🥹 Typical Skrillex lol
