DIPLO'S SUCCESS


DIPLO 


Thomas Pentz, also commonly known as Diplo is a world renowned DJ artist. Today he's one of the highest in demand for music production. He has crafted music for Beyonce, Usher, Madonna, Snoop dog and Justin Bieber. He's the co-creator of Major lazer, a dance music project, and Mad Decent, a successful recording company. Diplo has pushed the boundary in regards to electronic music. With his unique taste, Diplo has inspired many Dj's to explore new sounds. I had the opportunity of seeing Diplo perform at one of his shows in Vancouver, Canada. This show was my first experience with electronic dance music. Diplo's skill was evident and it was from then on I fell in love with electronic dance music. Diplo resonates a sound of freedom, self expression and creativity.
