M.I.A., also known as Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, is a British rapper, singer, and producer who is of Sri Lankan Tamil heritage.
MIA began her career as a visual artist and then worked in fashion design and documentary filmmaking before switching to music. She has had 49 award nominations to date and is well known for her compositions that include elements of dance, alternative, hip-hop, and world music.
The five main awards—the Academy, Grammy, Brit, Mercury Prize, and Alternative Turner Prize—have never before been nominated by the same artist in history.
M.I.A. is also the first person of Asian heritage to have nominations for both the Academy and Grammy in the same year.
MIA’s latter compositions used uncommon instruments, electronics, and sounds from all over the globe, in contrast to her earlier works, which primarily included the Roland MC-505 sequencer and drum machine.
Her views and remarks on the persecution of Palestinians, African Americans, and Tamils in Sri Lanka have received both acclaim and condemnation; as a result, the US has restricted her immigration.
MIA’s political ideas are very clearly expressed in her albums. She supports a variety of organizations and raises money to assist young people in war-torn Africa to escape poverty and violence.
She promoted the construction of schools and the reintegration of former child soldiers in Liberia. ‘Time’ magazine named her one of the world’s 100 most important people in 2009, while ‘Rolling Stone’ identified her as one of the defining artists of the 2000s.
What does MIA stand for in slang?
Mia is said to be originated from the ancient Egyptian word Mr, which means “beloved.” Since then, the name has been associated with the Italian word mia, which means “my,” as well as the Slavic term Mila, which means “dear or sweetheart.”
