deadmau5, who's real name is Joel Thomas Zimmerman is a Canadian progressive house and electro house producer based in Toronto. His tracks have been included in compilation albums and on Armin van Buuren's "A State of Trance" radio show. His debut album, Get Scraped, was released in 2005, followed by others in the next few years.

As well as his own solo releases, deadmau5 has worked alongside other DJs and producers. He is known for performing in a costume head which resembles a mouse head that he originally created while learning to use a 3D program. The costume mouse head is called the "Mau5head" and appears in many different colors and designs, and has been on the cover of most of deadmau5's albums.

The Lady Sandra Home Fashion deadmau5 collection features Mau5head cushions of different styles and fabrications.
