Early life

Zimmerman was born on January 5, 1981 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. His mother, Nancy (née Johnson), is a visual artist, and his father, Rodney Thomas "Rod" Zimmerman, is a General Motors plant worker. He has two siblings, Jennifer (older) and Chris (younger). His ancestry includes German, Swiss, and English heritage. Zimmerman received his first keyboard for Christmas when he was a teenager.

Zimmerman graduated from Westlane Secondary School in Niagara Falls. He then worked with an online music licensing company and was a programmer. The name "Deadmau5" originates from an incident with his computer; while chatting with a friend on his computer, it abruptly shut off, and when Zimmerman started to dismantle his computer, he found a dead mouse that had chewed wires inside. Zimmerman then became known as the "dead mouse guy" among friends, and tried to change his name to "Deadmouse" in an online chat room. The name was one character too long, so he shortened it to "Deadmau5". "Maus" is the German word for "mouse" and is pronounced the same as in English; the ending character 5 instead of an 's' is a form of leet.

His early musical work was largely done in his mom's Niagara Falls basement, and he later moved to a small apartment in Toronto.

On August 12, 2017, Zimmerman married Kelly Fedoni. By June 2021, he and Fedoni had separated and would divorce, but stated that their relationship had ended amicably.

Offensive remarks

In October 2018, Zimmerman posted comments on Twitter during an argument including the statements "I'll bet you suck a guy off for 40 grand, zero fucking questions asked" and "women don't possess penises". These comments were construed by readers as being homophobic and transphobic. Zimmerman apologized for his comments, saying that he "wasn't trying to make blatant transphobic statements", and had "just got into a heated argument with some dude online", noting that his comments had been taken "somewhere unintended".

A few days later, during a gaming stream, he referred to a track by fellow electronic artist Slushii as "AIDS fucking music" and "autistic shit". Slushii – who is on the autism spectrum – responded to these comments on Twitter, calling them "really disappointing". Zimmerman later apologized for these comments, citing mental health issues that required "professional help", and stating that he would take time "off the radar" to "work on imself.

In February 2019, while playing ''PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'' on a livestream on Twitch, Zimmerman called another player a "fucking cock-sucking stream sniper fag."

Zimmerman later apologized for his remarks in a Reddit post, and was subsequently reinstated.

Legal disputes

Disney trademark dispute

In a 2012 interview with ''Rolling Stone'', Zimmerman acknowledged possible similarities between his Mau5head logo and that of Mickey Mouse, joking that "someone at the Disney patent office fell asleep on that one."

In March 2014, it was reported that The Walt Disney Company had filed a request with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to investigate Zimmerman's application to register the Mau5head emblem as a trademark, noting its resemblance to the figure of Mickey Mouse. Disney officially filed its opposition in September 2014, arguing that the mark is likely to cause confusion because it is "nearly identical in appearance, connotation, and overall commercial impression" to Disney's trademarked iconography of Mickey Mouse. In response to the opposition, Zimmerman spoke out against Disney on Twitter, arguing that the company thinks of people as being "stupid" because " heymight confuse an established electronic musician/performer with a cartoon mouse." Zimmerman also believed that he had been targeted by Disney due to their attempts to "cash in" on the EDM market, specifically alluding to '' Dconstructed''—a recently released compilation album containing remixes of music from Disney properties by major electronic musicians such as Armin van Buuren, Avicii and Kaskade.

On September 4, 2014, Zimmerman revealed on Twitter that Disney had used "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" in a Mickey Mouse "re-micks" video (as part of ''Have a Laugh!'') on their website and YouTube channel without his or his labels' permission, and posted pictures showing a takedown notice that had been sent to Disney by his lawyers. The letter also contained a trademark infringement accusation, arguing that the use of Deadmau5's name in material regarding the video falsely implied his endorsement of it. Disney argued that it had properly licensed the song and that there was "no merit to his statement."

In an October 2014 USPTO filing, Zimmerman argued that Disney has attempted to co-exist with him in goodwill. Zimmerman presented evidence that Disney had been in contact with him regarding potential collaborative projects, including an offer to participate in a "re-imagining" of '' Fantasia'' as a live concert tour for the film's 75th anniversary.

In June 2015, Zimmerman's attorney stated that he and Disney had "amicably resolved their dispute." Zimmerman appeared in an episode of the Disney+ series '' The Muppets Mayhem'' in 2023.

Meowingtons trademark dispute

In 2015, Zimmerman attempted to register a trademark for the name of his pet cat, Professor Meowingtons, whom he adopted in 2010 and has incorporated into some of his own merchandising. However, the registration was rejected due to a pre-existing Meowingtons trademark held by an online retailer of the same name established in 2014, which sells cat-themed accessories and clothing. After discovering the trademark, Zimmerman petitioned against it, citing his pre-existing uses.

In March 2017, Zimmerman was sued by Emma Bassiri (the owner of the website) for trademark infringement and unfair competition; the suit argued that claims by Zimmerman that she had named the site specifically after the cat was false. Zimmerman himself told ''The Hollywood Reporter'' that "from the very beginning I was working to find a way to resolve this situation amicably", but that he had been forced to "litigate this woman out of existence". On May 15, 2017, Deadmau5 filed a countersuit against Bassiri with the intention of seeking forfeiture of Bassiri's website and domain name.

In March 2018, ''World Intellectual Property Review'' reported that Zimmerman and Bassiri had resolved their dispute.

Professor Meowingtons died in 2023, aged 16.
