MOTHERHOOD HELPS M.I.A. MAKE MUSIC

Motherhood will enhance, not hinder M.I.A.'s music career, because she works better when she's busy and under pressure.

The British Paper Planes hitmaker insists she procrastinated and struggled to concentrate when she had a clear schedule.

Since giving birth to baby son Ikhyd back in February (09), M.I.A. has had to juggle music with her role as a full-time mother - and she has flourished.

The singer tells Spinner.com, "In order to make music, I kind of have to feel some sort of hardship. I've always found it easier to create when you're just sort of left on your own to deal with your own s**t and your own mess and your own whatever. And I think having a baby makes me a lot more focused in terms of time.

"Before, if I had a year to make music, then I know that I have to do it this time in a shorter space of time. And if I got to spend 24 hours in the studio last time and sleep in it and be in it and eat in it and whatever, now I know that that's not possible because I have to have my baby down there."
