Happy birthday! Deadmau5 turns 45 today

Deadmau5 is celebrating his 45th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed djs of his generation.

Popular dj-musician Deadmau5 (Strobe, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 45th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Deadmau5, a cultural icon

Born Joel Thomas Zimmerman in Niagara Falls on January 5, 1981, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Canadian history. Deadmau5's not just a great dj, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Deadmau5 hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Deadmau5 as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 45.

Happy Birthday, Deadmau5, you're the best!
