A superstar DJ, sought-after producer, taste-making label owner, and wizard behind Major Lazer, Diplo launched
his career on the fringes of dance music. With his mash-up mixtapes, he found and created a sound where his
musical tastes, 80’s pop, electronica, Dirty South hip-hop, and his major influence, Miami bass music, intersect. His
attention-grabbing projects Hollertronix, with partner DJ Low Budget, and the 2004 Piracy Funds Terrorism, Vol. 1
mixtape, with British-Sri Lankan MC M.I.A., made a heavy impact on the alternative electro-pop scene, amassing
rave reviews from music critics and indie kids alike. Later, his Mad Decent imprint presented the edge of pop, hip-
hop, and dance music while his conceptual Major Lazer project mixed dancehall with rave culture and toured the
globe as a live-party sound system. By the late 2010s, high-profile projects with Skrillex (Jack Ü) and Mark Ronson
(Silk City) both yielded Grammy wins for collaborations with Justin Bieber and Dua Lipa, respectively. He also
teamed with Labrinth and Sia to form the supergroup LSD. Heading into the 2020s, the versatile artist segued into
territories ranging from country to ambient, focusing on house music through his Higher Ground imprint and his
2022 self-titled full-length.
