Now that Tiesto, Shawn Mendes, and Will Ferrell have all been crossed off the list of Marshmello’s possible identities, there’s a much more convincing theory out there. According to Forbes, Marshmello is a guy named Chris Comstock, who goes by the name Dotcom as a DJ. In November 2017, the magazine cited several pieces of evidence, including Skrillex referring to Marshmello as “Chris,” and Dotcom and Marshmello supposedly having the same leg tattoo. They also cross-referenced a music royalty database called BMI which concluded Comstock and Marshmello are the same person. However, Marshmello’s lawyer and agent declined to comment on his identity when asked by Forbes, keeping a smidgen of the mystery alive.
Even Chipotle has gotten in on the guessing game. In January 2018, Marshmello tweeted a pic of himself with the caption, “Dreaming of the day when guac is no longer extra at chipotle.” The fast food chain replied, “Dreaming of the day when we find out if Marshmello really is also Dotcom.” *Cue the side-eye emojis*
If Marshmello really is Comstock/Dotcom, you can see his face above. But part of the fun is never truly knowing for sure — and waiting to see which celebrity pops up in the helmet next.
