Diplo

Wesley Pentz (Diplo) worked on M.I.A’s albums which earned him a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year. He has also worked with Santigold, Lil’ Jon and Missy Elliot. He’s remixed works by Beck, Radiohead, Britney Spears and many more. Pentz has his own record label called Mad Decent, where he helped produce or sign artists such as Rye Rye, Bonde do Role, Crookers, Blaqstarr, Boy 8-Bit, Buraka Som Systema, and Rusko. Through his label, he found a way to give back to the world. He founded a charity called Heaps Decent as a social relief program to help children in Australia as well as with additional efforts internationally. I would hope artists will be inspired to follow in his footsteps and use music as a way to help others.
