M.I.A.
Mathangi 'Maya' Arulpragsam is a Sri Lankan born British songwriter, vocalist, artist and producer.
She made the world sit up and take note when file-sharing of her singles 'Galang' and 'Sunshowers' went through the roof.
Her Mercury Prize nominated first album 'Arular' is named after her father and the acclaimed 'Kala' followed in 2007 - named after her mother.
Her music is a melting pot of cultures and styles, influenced by grime and ghetto-tech, but also informed by Tamil and Indian music.
She worked with American producer Timbaland on single 'Come Around' for his album.
