Anton Zaslavski (; born 2 September 1989), known professionally as Zedd (), is a Russian-born German DJ, record producer, and songwriter.

Subsequent well-known songs include "Stay" with Alessia Cara, peaking at number 7; "The Middle" with Maren Morris and Grey; and, as a featured artist, "Break Free" with Ariana Grande, peaking at number 4 in the US.
