M.I.A.

Mathangi Arulpragasam (born 18 July 1975), better known as M.I.A., is an English rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, visual artist, and activist. Her stage name is wordplay on her name as well as a reference to the military term "missing in action". Her work combines elements of alternative, dance, electronic, hip hop, and world music.

M.I.A. began her career in 2000 as a visual artist, filmmaker, and designer in west London before beginning her recording career in 2002. She was one of the first acts to come to public attention through the internet, posting her songs and videos on platforms such as MySpace. She rose to prominence in early 2004 for her singles "Sunshowers" and "Galang", and released her debut album Arular in 2005 and her second album Kala in 2007, both to critical acclaim. Kala was certified silver in the UK and gold in Canada and the US. The single "Paper Planes" reached number four in the US and has sold over four million copies.

M.I.A. also collaborated with Dutch DJ production team The Partysquad on the song "Gold", which was released on The Partysquad Summer Mixtape in 2014. A snippet of "Gold" was sung by the bunnies in the TV spot Sing For The Gold.
