In 2017 he became the first artist ever to perform on top of the historic Paris landmark the Arc de Triomphe.


In 2014 he collaborated with Dillon Francis on the single "Get Low," while 2015 saw him join MØ and Major Lazer on the worldwide hit "Lean On." In 2016, he delivered his debut album, Encore, which included the singles "Middle," featuring guest vocalist Bipolar Sunshine, and "Let Me Love You," featuring Justin Bieber. His big break as a solo artist came late in the year when "Turn Down for What," featuring Lil Jon, arrived and became the most popular crossover trap hit since Baauer's "Harlem Shake." The singles "Slow Down" and "Together" also arrived in 2013, along with more work for Lady Gaga on her ARTPOP album. Also in 2012, he signed with Diplo's imprint Mad Decent and released the single "Bird Machine" on the label in 2013. Born William Grigahcine, Snake's production work on Lady Gaga's 2011 effort Born This Way earned him a Grammy nod when it was nominated for Album of the Year in 2012.
