Time translation? Misky did it.

Mitski Miyawaki can't fly home for a holiday because there is not enough money. It is already 20 17 night. As an unknown independent rock singer, Mitsky has just finished a two-year trip to Australia. However, she flew to neighboring Malaysia. Because she didn't have any musical instruments on her, this anxiety prompted her to buy a toy piano from the local player, R Us. On this piano, she created it? The glittering single "Nothing" was included in the new album "Being a Cowboy" released on August 6th, 2007. Under the melody of disco, Nobody expresses young women's efforts to get rid of isolation.

"For a long time, I didn't think I would be a musician at all," Mitsky said in a teahouse in Manhattan. "I don't see anyone doing what I want to do." "Like me," she pointed out. "I am an Asian girl who is not popular, but I just want to make my own music." "When you can't see a so-called example, it's hard to imagine how to realize it." She explained.

Mitzki has traveled for more than five years and became the opening performer of touring Lorde. His first album was well received. However, on a July afternoon in new york, she was still unknown to everyone. For Mitsky, music has never been a choice, but a call. Without this career, she felt that she would not continue to live. "I am a destructive personality," she said, "unless I realize that I can create things."

American father was born in Japan, and Mitsky was born in Japan. Her family seldom lives in one place for a long time. She once called Congo, Malaysia or Czech Republic her home. Even now, she keeps her things in her father's residence in America, but it is not a permanent address. I gave up studying movies and continued to study music at the Purchasing College. Following 20 14' s Bury Me in Makeout Creek and 20 16' s Puberty, Mitzki continued to release several unforgettable unknown singles. Judging from her lyrical way, Mitsky has bold guitar skills and a steady typhoon. Your Best American Girl is still a very popular song. She described a kind of pain, a special pain that is different from others: "I think I can't help but want to be your best American girl." This is a very different experience. As an Asian-American girl, she has wandering love and fears that we all have. Don't refuse. Like all artists, she also made her own artistic declaration: Mitsky is not an American rock star in the popular sense, but she is doing her best. Today, she has been at the forefront of Kotchera and other music festivals, and has also been affirmed by iggy pop, calling her "the most avant-garde creator in the United States at present". This must be the result of her perseverance, but she has not yet achieved her goal.

At first, she spent the first few years in a dive bar in Manhattan, and the attendance rate was always zero, which made Andhadhun want to shorten her program. "I sang more than 2,000 performances there without an audience, but with my singing, I learned to let myself listen to my own songs," she called it the cheeky road. Along this road, she has a group of heartfelt followers, a group of audience attracted by her provocative, pure and casual style, including young female audience, Asian audience, and a group of audience called "outsiders, as if always outside the door" by Mitzki. This makes the creator feel satisfied. The new single "A Pearl" is a sense of leisure in self-mutilation. "In this song, I think even if you are poisoned, you can still do it as usual, because it's you, so it's you." She said. Mitsky loves her audience and is willing to take her marginality as her own characteristic. "If I am on the edge of the mainstream, I will ruin myself." She said. The status of a shining pop star and the mode of a large-scale concert tour are not her goals.

In today's indie rock circle, Mitsky is certainly not the only non-mainstream. In particular, young female artists with a large number of fanatical fans, such as Lucy Dacus, soccer mommy and snail mail, are also trying to tell their experiences of being marginalized. The rock circle in this world is still dominated by white people, and people like Misky are traditionally unpopular. Although she said "much better than before." , but still uncomfortable. As an Asian woman who has attracted much attention in the mainstream music circle, she is often labeled as a representative of multicultural groups. "I think there are too many labels," she said. Mitsky hopes that in the future, she doesn't need to represent "the whole Asian continent". "Because it's really big."

This symbolic position will make every artist go to ruin; They will fall into the situation of pleasing the audience forever. The album title "Becoming a Cowboy" comes from "A Joke in My Heart". Like a spell, the lyrics "Be the cowboy you want to see in this world" express her struggle. "What would a white man say? In this case, what would a cowboy do if he rode into town? " She asked in the song that she didn't want to be an impostor, she just wanted to make her favorite music.

The album Puberty 2 represents the growth of 27-year-old Misky. Her clear voice is round and full of energy. "Lonely Love" and "Get in the Water", classic country rock styles, in which you seem to hear the Beatles and the southern chicken. In Washing Machine Heart, she wrote, "Throw your dirty shoes into mine? The heart of the washing machine, baby, put it in it. "And in another song" Blu-ray ",she is in the interval of prayer:" Someone kissed me, and I'm going crazy. I'm walking naked in the house. " Mitsky expressed the healing of alienation with her straightforward lyrics, which was recognized. She maintains the toughness of her favorite live music and explores the "adult love" she pursues, even if it is a messy and unsatisfied desire.

Mitsky has been consciously protecting her private life, which also gives us a sense of mystery about her. But through her music, she is telling us about her.

"I don't want your pity, I just want someone by my side", from the song "Nobody", she whispered to tell people that one day her concert was accepted. Almost every song in the catalogue is within 3 minutes, which is obviously not an artistic choice. Mitsky has her pressure, which is just a tactic: "I am not an orthodox white creator." No one wants to listen to my song for 45 minutes. " But she did it. In her music career, she has done everything, as simple as herself.

Back in this teahouse in Manhattan, she finished her matcha latte, asked the waiter for a packing box and took the rest of the dessert home. Then, she will disappear in this city for a few days, just to save money, and she will stay at a friend's house.

However, she will still come back, come back here, continue to set out and walk alone.
