Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on July 17, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Maya Arulpragasam! May your day be filled with beats as infectious as "Paper Planes" and celebrations louder than your boldest tracks. From the groundbreaking rhythms of *Arular* to the fearless creativity you've shown throughout your career, you continue to inspire us all.

Your unique blend of music and activism has always kept us dancing—and thinking—at the same time. Here's hoping this year brings even more chart-topping hits, unforgettable performances, and perhaps another iconic moment that leaves everyone talking (and humming along). Keep shaking things up; we wouldn't have it any other way!
