About Diplo

"Every day is work for me, but it's also a party. I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

Diplo began his career as a DJ, and achieved his first taste of major success working as a producer and co-writer on M.I.A.'s 2007 album, Kala, which included the Diplo-produced hit "Paper Planes." That success led to Diplo becoming a very much in-demand studio collaborator, and he has since worked with such artists as Chris Brown, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi, Shakira, Ariana Grande, and Beyoncé.

Diplo won his first career GRAMMYs for 2015 for Best Dance Recording with his production duo with Skrillex, Jack Ü, for "Where Are Ü Now" and Best Dance/Electronic Album for Skrillex And Diplo Present Jack Ü. That same year, on the 58th GRAMMY Awards, he made his GRAMMY stage debut, performing "Where Are Ü Now" alongside Skrillex and Justin Bieber.
Did you know? Diplo took his stage name from the Diplodocus dinosaur, a creature he was fascinated with as a child.

Diplo has participated in the Recording Academy's Up Close & Personal interview series in Philadelphia in August 2016.

Diplo co-founded Heaps Decent, an Australia-based arts organizations that provides support and educational programs for students and emerging artists from diverse communities.
