Before "Lean On", A 20-Year-Old Diplo Visited India For Very Different Reasons

    Just goes to show that everybody starts somewhere. Oh, and that Diplo is the nicest guy ever.

    "Lean On" by Major Lazer, DJ Snake and MØ was one of the smash hits of 2015. The music video, which was shot in India, crossed a billion YouTube views earlier this month.

    But Major Lazer's Diplo just revealed how this wasn't the first time he had been to India.

    In a Facebook post, the musician shared how he visited India to help in the aftermath of the Gujarat earthquakes, when he was only 20 years old.

    "Between all this I traveled with a small keyboard and speaker to play and make music," he said in reference to the image he shared.

    "I listened to albums under a mosquito net at night and dreamed of coming back again. I never did until 15 years later on stage as Major Lazer 🇮🇳"

    Safe to say he's come a long way. 🙌🙌🙌
