My Name is Wesley / Diplo

It is no secret that we are big fans of Diplo and the whole Mad Decent movement. Practically half of the tracks in Sound System are from Mad Decent.  As part of the 8 Billion Lives project, this video is  a humble reflection on how Diplo (Wesly Pentz) rose from an anthropology/film student to an international DJ and producer. Inspiring, motivational, and uplifting.
