Under the name 'Zedd', Anton has produced a wide variety of remixes and originals. He first made waves in the scene when he won two different Beatport remix contests; his first original release, 'The Anthem', broke into the Beatport Electro house Top 20. His remix of Skrillex's "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" broke into the Beatport Electro House Top Ten charts, coming to rest at #2. He has since produced remixes of well-known artists of the likes of The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Skrillex, and more. Anton creates his music using the Cubase suite of music production applications, and takes advantage of different plug-ins including the Sylenth1, Nexus and Omnisphere synthesizers.

In 2011, Zedd's remixes of Lady Gaga's tracks "Born This Way" and "Marry the Night" would appear on the special edition of her second studio album, Born This Way (2011). In September, Zedd's single "Shave It" was premiered as a thirty second teaser on Skrillex's YouTube page, this being Zedd's first release on OWSLA records.

In 2012, Zedd signed with Interscope Records and released his debut single from the label, "Spectrum", with vocals by Matthew Koma. He then produced the Eva Simons song, I Don't Like You, which was also released on Interscope.
