Deadmau5 collaborator Lights has responded to claims of her “miming” a different singer’s vocals while performing on stage.Recently, when performing his 2011 track ‘Raise Your Weapon’ – which features vocals by Greta Svabo Bech – the iconic DJ brings out Lights to sing Bech’s parts but the vocalist took to her TikTok account to call out Lights for lip-syncing to her vocals.“I get tagged in lots of posts from Deadmau5 shows.

In the videos, it is my voice, but another singer is miming. If she’s not miming, her voice is so low in the mix you can only hear me.

Seeing these videos made me realize, as a singer, my voice and my identity are intertwined,” she began.Today is my birthday.

And it’s also the day I reclaim my voice, and take part in a conversation that has been happening online without me. This false crediting of my voice to someone else has to stop.
