M.I.A. (Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam) is a British rapper, singer, songwriter, and visual artist known for her politically charged and eclectic music.
Her sound is highly distinctive, blending dance, electronic, hip-hop, and world music—often featuring samples of global sounds and unconventional instruments. Lyrically, she frequently addresses social, political, and cultural themes, including immigration, identity, poverty, and globalization.
