born Thomas Wesley Pentz
Diplo is an American DJ, record producer, and label founder whose work spans an unusually broad range of styles, from dancehall and baile funk to trap and house music. He co-founded the global bass music collective Major Lazer and the Mad Decent label, which introduced a generation of listeners to music from the Global South. A restless collaborator who has worked with M.I.A., Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, and many others, he remains one of the most culturally influential figures in contemporary club music.
