As his music grew so did his success.

In July of 2010 after over doing it on stage Deadmau5 colapsed on stage from exaustion and dehydration and cancled the next 9 preformances he had scedualed. Int 2012 he began dating tv personality Kat Von D their short lived love was quickly ended in November of that year and then rekindled in December when Deadmau5 anounced live on twitter that the couple was engaged and would be married. The wedding was set in August 2013 and the couple never made it that far. In June 2013 Kat Von D anounced the couples split and that was the end of that relationship.

       Zimmerman has won three IDMA awards including best artist. As a dj he has also choosen to give back to other artist.
