In 2012, he released "Clarity", which propelled him to mainstream success, reaching the 8th position on the Billboard Hot 100 and 
earning him a Grammy for Best Dance Recording at the 56th Grammy Awards. His subsequent well-known songs include "Stay" with Alessia Cara, peaking at number 7, and, as a featured artist, "Break Free" with Ariana Grande, peaking at number 4.
Last August his Happy Now with Elley Duhé made it to Youtube now with over 46-million views.
During a radio interview, Zedd explained the reason behind working with Duhé: "I think why I really gravitated towards her was that she had a genuine and h
onest approach to the song and she felt vulnerable and real." Duhé said of the song in a press statement: "To me, 'Happy Now' is more than just a song. It's a significant moment in my life, the golden opportunity to work with one of the greatest DJ's/producer of our time. Being able to come together with complete strangers to do something beautiful, sing something meaningful, to share something special is what 'Happy Now' is all about."
Zedd is living large as somne would say. Last year architecturaldigest.com's Kathryn Romeyn did a piece on Zedd's 9,400-square-foot Beverly Hills home—which he decorated himself. “I saw an ad for this house, which was way too expensive
, but I asked if I could look at it for inspiration—like, if I wanted to build my own house. I drove down the gate of the house and my brain went immediately to: This is something Steve Jobs would have enjoyed,” says Zaslavski. “I walked in here and it was so perfect.” Fast forward ten subsequent visits and an entire year later: He ended up buying the new modern estate complete with a rooftop deck, pool, and jacuzzi." Romeyn writes in her piece.
Houston Ballet this season as they say in their news release, they join ballet com
panies around the world in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Jerome Robbins’ birth. Who is Jerome Robbins? Robbins was ballet master of the New York City Ballet in 1972 and worked almost exclusively in classical dance throughout that decade, stopping only to stage revivals of West Side Story (1980) and Fiddler on the Roof (1981). In 1981, his Chamber Dance Company toured the People's Republic of China.

Houston's over
all 37-25 victories is impressive with James Harden their marquee player continuing to make the Rockets 2018-19 season worth a weekend ticket for non-die hard Rocket suppoters. Harden exploded for 58 points (16-32 FG, 8-18 3Pt, 18-18 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds, four steals, and one block in 44 minutes during Thursday's (February 28, 2019) 121-118 win over the Heat.
Harden poured in at least 50 points for the sixth time this season. It's also the eigh
th time he has drained at least eight treys here in 2018-19. Just when it seemed as though Harden had hit the brakes a bit or started to slow down some, he delivers another masterpiece in which he contributed in every category.
Rockets continue their winning season this second March Friday of 2019.
The play was developed during the 2018 Alley All New Festival.
Quack is a story about how a Dr Phil like character is caught up into scandal which leads to creditability problems for this celebrity doctor. Alley Theatre describes it this way, millions of women across America
rely on Dr. Irving Baer and his daytime talk show to help them lose weight, manifest their destinies, and take their health into their own hands. Then, a take-down piece of journalism goes viral, leaving his career hanging in the balance, his marriage on the rocks, and his carefully maintained public persona in peril. In the frenzy of crisis management that follows, one thing becomes clear…if Irving Baer is going to fall from grace, he’s bringing everyone else with him. Eliza Clark’s hilarious new comedy exposes the shaky foundations of the wellness industry, the fleeting nature of 21st century fame, and the relationship between the powerful men who dole out advice and the women who are supposed to receive it with a smile.
