Tell Me / Joytime II

Overview

Cooking with Marshmello

You probably don’t know his face, but if you don’t know his name, you might know his music. Marshmello is the electronic dance music producer and DJ popularized by his “marshmallow” headgear.

He’s collaborated on club and radio hits like “Silence,” which features the raspy and soulful singer-songwriter Khalid, as well as “Wolves,” the haunting, multi-genre track guided by Selena Gomez’s poppy vocals. He’s also responsible for the successful “Friends” collaboration with British singer Anne-Marie in 2018.

Marshmello debuted his cooking web series in October 2017 and has 79-episodes (and counting). Each segment lasts no more than three minutes and is a brief, narrated (though not by Marshmello) journey through preparing and presenting some of the producer’s favorite foods.

Because he doesn’t speak, he’s quite expressive with his body language in the kitchen. Another way he compensates for lack of verbalization is by blending music, pop culture, with the cooking in his videos. It adds a little extra flavor to what’s happening and helps hold your attention.

On Jul 24th, 2018 Paula Abdul made a guest appearance on "Cooking with Marshmello" in an episode on How To Make Açaí Bowls. The appearance was to promote her “Straight Up Paula Tour.”

Each new video is released somewhat sporadically on his YouTube channel, so you’ll have to check in occasionally or subscribe to his channel to see when new ones are published.
