Mau P, one of the most outstanding and rising stars in the electronic music scene, has recently won 5 Gold and Platinum Records for his hit track "Drugs From Amsterdam," which has surpassed 190 million streams on Spotify!

Many people might wonder, what exactly are Gold and Platinum Records? These are awards presented by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) to recognize achievements in the music industry. Gold Records are awarded when a song reaches sales of 500,000 units, while Platinum Records are awarded for 1,000,000 units sold. There are also Multi-Platinum and Diamond Records for songs reaching 2 million and 10 million units sold, respectively.

Mau P, formerly known as Maurice West, has been recognized in the EDM scene for many years, collaborating with global artists like Hardwell and W&W. However, despite his efforts, he hadn’t yet reached the level of success he aimed for. That was until he decided to leave behind the name Maurice West and reinvented himself as Mau P, leading to his immense success today.

Mau P dedicated this achievement to his late father, sharing a heartfelt message on social media, reflecting on his journey and struggles that led him to this point.

"Before my dad passed, I once told him I would bring home a Gold plaque to hang beside him... Never did I think I would bring home 5 Golds and 1 Platinum... Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to what I’ve created and for bringing me to this point... You have no idea how much you mean to me... Love, Mau P."

A huge congratulations to Mau P on this incredible achievement, as he has shown the world that his hard work and dedication have truly paid off.
