Porter Weston Robinson (born July 15, 1992) is an American DJ, record producer, and singer-songwriter. Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Robinson began producing electronic music during his adolescence. He signed to Skrillex's record label OWSLA at the age of 18, and released the extended play Spitfire in 2011. He appeared on Billboard's 21 Under 21 list in 2012.[12]
Robinson's debut full-length studio album, Worlds, was released in 2014[13] and peaked at number one on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums.[14] He won the 2015 MTVU Artist of the Year,[15] and made DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs list for seven consecutive years.[16] The album was critically acclaimed and is considered to be a major influence on the broader sound of EDM following its release.
At the inaugural Electronic Music Awards in 2017, he was nominated for Single of the Year and Live Act of the Year, both with Madeon, for the single "Shelter" and the Shelter Live Tour, respectively.[17] He began producing music under the alias Virtual Self in 2017, releasing a self-titled EP the same year.[18] Robinson's single "Ghost Voices",[19] released under his Virtual Self alias in 2017, earned him a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
He released his second studio album Nurture in 2021, which debuted on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums at number one, marking his second album to do so, and earned him widespread acclaim. Nurture was included on several high profile year-end lists, including The Fader's list of the "50 Best Albums of 2021", where it was rated the #1 best album of the year.[20]
