Chi uscì con M.I.A.?

M.I.A., pseudonimo di Mathangi Arulpragasam, detta Maya (Londra, 18 luglio 1975), è una rapper, cantante e writer britannica, di origine tamil.

Il suo stile fonde elementi di hip hop, reggae, dancehall, elettronica e funk. Il suo nome d'arte, "M.I.A.", è l'acronimo di "Missing in Acton", un gioco di parole tra "Missing in action" (disperso in missione, nel gergo militare di lingua inglese) e Acton, sobborgo di Londra.

Nel 2009 ha ottenuto una candidatura agli Oscar per la migliore canzone con il brano O... Saya dalla colonna sonora del film The Millionaire, e nel medesimo anno è stata inserita nella lista delle 100 persone più influenti al mondo secondo il magazine americano TIME, nella categoria Artists & Entertainers.

Thomas Wesley Pentz (born November 10, 1978), known professionally as Diplo, is an American DJ and music producer. He is a co-creator and lead member of the electronic dancehall music project Major Lazer; a member of the supergroup LSD, with Labrinth and Sia; a member of electronic duo Jack Ü, with producer and DJ Skrillex; and a member of Silk City, with Mark Ronson. He founded the record company Mad Decent in 2006 and the nonprofit organization Heaps Decent in 2007. His 2013 extended play (EP) Revolution debuted at number 68 on the US Billboard 200. Its title track was later featured in a Hyundai commercial and appears on the WWE 2K16 soundtrack.

Diplo worked with and dated British musician M.I.A., producing her 2008 breakout single "Paper Planes", which gave him initial mainstream exposure. In 2011, he and fellow producer Switch formed the electronic musical group Major Lazer and its namesake cartoon series for FXX, which ran for one season. The group released five studio albums that explored EDM and dancehall music, pioneering a new musical genre, ReggaeEDM. Since then, Diplo has produced for and collaborated with many mainstream musical acts, including Blackpink, Lil Peep, Gwen Stefani, Die Antwoord, Britney Spears, Madonna, Shakira, Beyoncé, Ellie Goulding, the Weeknd, No Doubt, Justin Bieber, Usher, Anitta, Snoop Dogg, Trippie Redd, Chris Brown, CL, G-Dragon, Bad Bunny, Kali Uchis, Joji, Morgan Wallen, Bailey Zimmerman, MØ, and Poppy. His alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs.
