Starting at the age of 16, Sonny Moore began his journey as vocalist for post-hardcore band From First To in 2004. While with FFTL, the band released two albums; Heroine and Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has A Body Count. Sonny originally went to try out for a guitarist and came out as the singer. Then in 2007 Sonny decided to leave From First To Last to pursue a solo career and because of the damage done to his vocal chords. Moore and the rest of the bands are on good terms.
Sonny released his first solo album Gypsyhook in 2009. Moore is a professional DJ known as Skrillex. Under the name of Skrillex, he has released two EPs: My Name Is Skrillex and Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites both in 2010. Since Moore's departure from FFTL, his musical style has changed since his post-hardcore days. Going from post-hardcore to a poppy/ electronica/ powerpop and dubstep sound, is quite a difference.
Sonny has been going on tour with bigger bands such as Chiodos, Hollywood Undead, DeadMau5, and helped out with vocals on English metalcore band Bring Me The Horizon. At Moore's concerts his backing band is known as The Blood Monkeys.
