How did Major Lazer Make Their Money & Wealth?

Founded in 2008, Major Lazer initially consisted of two DJs, Switch and Diplo (they had met while working with singer-songwriter M.I.A.). As independent artists, the pair eventually dropped their full-length debut, Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do in 2009. Influenced by Jamaican dancehall music, the album won critical acclaim upon release, with praise from many contemporary critics. To this day, it is often credited for changing the reggae and dancehall genres.

As you can probably expect, the group’s earnings mostly come from their studio albums. Their debut project, Guns Don’t Kill People…Laserz Do was released in 2009. While it was a decent success, it wasn’t until they dropped their second album, Free the Universe that they started to gain significant buzz. A commercial hit, it ultimately gave rise to their single, Bubble Butt, which has since received gold certification in the US.

From there, they gained more notoriety with the release of their third album, Peace is the Mission n 2015. Their most successful title to date, it had peaked at number twelve on the Billboard 200; not only that, but the album had also charted in other countries around the world such as Belgium, Canada, and France, among others. Some standout songs from the playlist include Lean On (with DJ Snake), Powerful, and Light It Up (Remix).

In addition to the above-mentioned albums, the group has also come out with four extended plays, the latest of which (i.e. Know No Better) was released in the summer of 2017. Some of the other EPs include Original Don, Lazers Never Die, and Apocalypse Soon. In 2013, they also dropped four remix albums- Lazer Strikes Back Vol. 1 to 4.
