Zedd ‘Clarity’ 10th Anniversary: DJ Debut Album's 1st Decade by Playing at Four Major Shows

Zedd has been in the music industry for a long time and his debut album was one of the biggest reasons that sealed his place into international stardom. Today, "Clarity" turns 10 and it's still relevant based on its placement on the charts.

According to Billboard, the famed music producer's first album was released in October 2012 via Interscope Records. At the time, it placed at number 38 on the Billboard 200.

Although the initial placement was not that high, it was successful enough for Zedd to become popular not just in the United States but all over the world.

To celebrate his album 10 years later, he had four events last week including a performance at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium where he played all of "Clarity's" songs. He also had an orchestral performance at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles which was streamed globally.

Speaking about the creative process of his album, Zedd, whose real name is Anton Zaslavski, explained that he doesn't have many fans at the time and it was a nice thing for him because he continued making music because "there was nobody to disappoint.

"I just made the music I wanted to make. I didn't know if anybody would care or not - it was my first album, and I think it set a precedent," he announced to the public during his orchestral event.

Zedd's 'Clarity Album' Events are Rare as He Will Not do THIS Again

The 33-year-old music producer also noted that interviewers often ask him before what his goal was, saying he answered that he wanted his future self to look back and be proud of what he created 10 years ago.

Now that he's celebrating the record's first decade, it's "safe to say that I am just as much if not more proud of it."

The outlet noted that Zedd did something out of the ordinary whenever he performs at festivals and concerts which is playing the entire album front to back.

"I'm gonna be playing the whole album front to back, I'm only going to do this once and never again," he revealed when he announced the event a few months ago.

When he played at the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco in front of thousands of fans, he made sure that concertgoers would have the experience of a lifetime.

Not only it was a rare event, but he also gave fans a treat visually and audibly.
