Six-time Grammy award-winning American electronic music producer, DJ, singer and songwriter Skrillex is all set to embark on a tour of India for Vh1 Supersonic later this year.

Skrillex, whose real name is Sonny John Moore, has worked with renowned artists like Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg, Deadmau5 and The Chemical Brothers. He is also a part of the American DJ duo Jack Ü with DJ and music producer Diplo.

In 2011, he was nominated for five Grammy Awards at the 54th Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist and won three: "Best Dance/Electronica Album", "Best Dance Recording", and "Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical".

Later that year, he was also named MTV's Electronic Dance Music Artist of the Year.
