Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize

German-Iraqi producer and DJ Boys Noize, the project of Alex Ridha, has shaped 21st-century techno, house, and electro, earning a Grammy. Known for the hit Mvinline and Fine Day Anthem with Skrillex, he has collaborated with A$AP Rocky, Frank Ocean, and Virgil Abloh, and scored Oliver Stone's Snowden.

Trent Reznor, from Pennsylvania, is renowned for pioneering industrial rock with Nine Inch Nails in the '90s, known for hits like "Closer" and "Hurt." The band, often a solo project until Atticus Ross joined in 2016, won Grammys in 1992 and 1996. NIN's evolving style now includes atmospheric electronics. Reznor's collaborations include film scores with Ross, earning Oscars and crafting works for artists like Halsey. NIN's impressive live shows and influential chart-topping albums, such as The Downward Spiral, cement their iconic status in music history.
