Send to a FriendAged just 11, M.I.A. (aka Maya Arul) became a refugee of war. Like many others, her family were forced to flee Sri Lanka...
|
... when the Sinhala-Tamil conflict began to grip the country in the
mid-eighties. Left with no choice but to face up to the daunting
reality of restarting their lives in a foreign land, they found
themselves a million miles away from paradise isle and on a notorious
housing estate in Mitcham.
Quickly adapting to her new
surroundings, she has gone from those dark days to where she is today,
on the verge of stardom. Already established as an artist of some note,
her attentions have now turned to music. Like her art, her music is
very fiesty and she's unwilling to curb her tongue - it's all about her
and she is unlike anybody else around.
Her debut 12", 'Galang', will send shock waves out to all that hear it. It's fresh, twisted and has a killer hook.
M.I.A. is one of the UK's hottest new talents and rightly so.
