sweet, M.I.A. has one interesting history. her father is an engineer and activist from sri lanka, he started his own activist group against the sri lankan gov't in the 80's. he was so devoted to this that he hid from his kids and would visit them as their 'uncle' whenever he could, meanwhile mia was in the local school that would sporadically be shot up by the sri gov't. when her mother and siblings moved to london because the sri lanka civil war was getting too out of hand, her father stayed there to finish what he started, he ended up becoming a mediator between fighting parties.oh, did i mention her mother is the British royal families commissioned seamstress?
with that background, her individuality has definite reason to be. expand on what makes ya YOU, stop replicating others composition of self. originality is key in keeping it right.
