Happy birthday! Diplo turns 47 today

Diplo is celebrating his 47th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed djs of his generation.

Popular dj-producer Diplo (Lean On, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 47th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Diplo, a cultural icon

Born Thomas Wesley Pentz in Tupelo on November 10, 1978, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Diplo's not just a great dj, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Diplo hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Diplo as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 47.

Happy Birthday, Diplo, you're the best!
