While listening to a new singer, we often try to envision how they may look. Sometimes it even turns into a game when you finally look them up and draw a comparison with what you envisioned. The most significant aspect of being a successful musician is to have a recognizable face that allows fans to identify the artists off the stage and outside of their art. But what happens when you strip away the makeup and smiles and winks and only focus on the music and their live performances? Here are five musicians who are known for doing just that. Marshmello - The masked DJ The person behind the mask of a marshmallow is Christopher Comstock, popularly known as Marshmello in the music industry. It seems another celebrated DJ, Skrillex, accidentally revealed the identity of the artist when his name slipped during an interview. However, Marshmello has never denied or confirmed this piece of information, enabling him to maintain his anonymity and keep up the mystery that adds up to the secret of his popularity. Sia - Singer with a massive wig and a bow The Australian songwriter and singer Sia is a famous artist who has grabbed the attention of a massive audience for her bold lyrics, personality, and, most importantly, her unconventional outfits. Despite her worldwide fame, she prefers keeping her face covered with a wig and a massive bow. She made this decision 10 or 11 years into her career to maintain some privacy and to avoid getting chased by cameras. The Residents - The masked band The members of the American band, The Residents, have remained anonymous since the 1970s. Even though the band appears on TV, the musicians always hide their faces under masks while partaking in interviews. Homer Flynn is the band's spokesman and often shares updates and news on behalf of the group. Some fans believe Flynn could be the lead singer, but it has been denied by him to this day. Claptone - Musician with a golden bird-shaped mask and white gloves Claptone is a German musician who became famous for his outstanding work in the electronic music industry and for appearing at events and shows in a golden bird-shaped mask and white gloves. This strange attire has helped the artist keep his identity private. Some people even believe that Claptone consists of two people because he has performed in two different places at once. Daft Punk - Musicians with robot helmets This electronic music duo comprising French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter became famous all across Europe during the 1990s. Both the artists have concealed their identity under elegant suits, robot helmets, and gloves. Despite their popularity, they never take off their helmets. Is it not crazy to believe that these artists have successfully masked their identities despite the existence of devout Twitter investigators on the web?
