A Canadian music producer, DJ, and a player is known as his typical mouse helmet. When he was a teenager, he had experienced a terrible odor from burning his unfavorable computer cable.
The smell reminded him of the dead rat, so he wanted to change the user’s name to a deadmouse, but it couldn’t because it was too long, so he placed it as Deadmau5, and that was the story of how he got his nickname. The band and other famous athletes are also interested in nicknames with the word rat in it. Bands like Modest Mouse have enjoyed success in the music industry, while MMA fighters such as the demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson have enjoyed success at MMA and Jiu-Jitsu Brazil when appearing under the nickname.
