The DJ worked on the Ellen DeGeneres show from 2014 to 2022, and was named producer in 2020.
A crowd entertainer and dancer, he was recognized for his many talents and his joie de vivre.
He first broke through in 2008, when he was a finalist for the show So You Think Can Dance in the USA.
He landed several roles in the theater where he put his talents as a dancer to work.
He also starred in movies Step Upet Magic Mike XXL.
The actor and dancer reportedly left his home without his car, prompting his wife, Allison Holker to report him missing to police. She was in a panic when she notified the authorities, reports the site TMZ. Officers were later informed by a 911 call that the man was found dead in a hotel room.
The couple married in 2013 and had just celebrated their ninth anniversary together last Saturday. They had three children.
