Dubstep star Skrillex has spent much of the past year on the road, but sources tell Us Weekly that the producer has been dating British pop singer Ellie Goulding. According to the source, the two met through mutual acquaintances in the record industry in Los Angeles, where he lives and she has been spending much of her time.

"It's a really cool new romance and they get along perfectly," the source explains. "They're really good together. Everybody thinks it's awesome. Both of them are so talented. It's a great L.A. romance for her now that she hasn't been in London."

Skrillex, also known as Sonny Moore, has been riding high in recent months. On top of headlining several festivals and selling out a string of live dates in Los Angeles and New York City, the producer took home three Grammys on Sunday night, including Best Dance Recording for his song "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites."

“Piano Man”

Billy Joel | 1973

Billy Joel’s first hit, “Piano Man,” was – ironically – an autobiographical lament about how his first album wasn’t a hit. When Cold Spring Harbor didn’t take off, Joel briefly became a lounge pianist in Los Angeles, and this song, about that experience, expressed his frustrations and fears at the time: “And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar/And say, ‘Man, what are you doing here?’” “It was all right,” Joel said later, about the gig. “I got free drinks and union scale, which was the first steady money I’d made in a long time.”
