Musician Zedd, who rose to the top of the charts with his 2012 debut album Clarity, is featured in a brand new documentary airing Thursdaym Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. (ET) on Vevo.

Titled 'The Moment Of Clarity', the 26-minute documentary will air on Palladia on Dec. 21 at 10 p.m. (ET). Check out a trailer below.

Zedd signed with Interscope Records in 2012 and released his debut LP Clarity in October to much critical acclaim. The album's first single, "Spectrum," featuring Cherrytree Records recording artist Matthew Koma, garnered massive global attention, soaring to #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Song chart and ultimately being named their Dance Club Song of the year as well as iTunes "Breakthrough Album of the Year (Dance) for 2012.

In addition to racking up original production credits for artists including Eva Simons' "I Don't Like You" and Justin Bieber's "Beauty And A Beat," Rolling Stone named Zedd an "Artist to Watch" for 2012, and more recently, MTV deemed him an "Artist to Watch" for 2013. Zedd has performed at major festivals, including Ultra, Electric Daisy Carnival, Nocturnal, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Hard Summer in Los Angeles, and Electric Zoo in New York.

Zedd made his national television debut on THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN in October of 2013 where he turned his signature style upside down performing a stripped down version of his new single "Clarity" - showcasing his classical training by playing piano alongside a string quartet and vocals from Foxes. In early summer of 2013, he went on to again perform the track on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, this time accompanied by The Roots. The performance culminated in an unprecedented DJ performance replete with LED grandeur that simulated the festival performance experience for the first time on national television.

In the following months, "Clarity" ascended the radio charts and garnered spins on Top 40 radio stations across the country, propelling the single to the #2 song in the country. The single was certified platinum in August of 2013 and continues to dominate the airwaves while the accompanying video garnered Zedd an MTV "Artist To Watch" VMA nomination for that year. The smash single would later go on to earn Zedd a 2014 Grammy award for "Best Dance Recording" .

"The Moment of Clarity" tour in support of the album immediately sold out major venues across the country, establishing Zedd as one of the premier touring acts of the year and landing him another appearance at Coachella 2014. Just as it seemed the attention surrounding the young producer had reached a fever pitch, he unleashed another monstrous single, "Stay The Night" featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore. The track debuted at #8 on iTunes and sold over 78,000 copies the first day, eliminating any doubt about his ability to consistently craft hit songs with substance. Similarly, Zedd delivered another home run at the top of 2014 with the release of "Find You", Ft. Matthew Koma and Swedish vocal powerhouse Miriam Bryant. The trio performed the smash single live on the outdoor stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on February 3rd, 2014.
