Vorlage:Infobox musical artist

Mitski Miyawaki (born September 27, 1990), known simply as Mitski, is a Japanese-American singer-songwriter and musician. She embarked on her musical career while studying at Purchase College's Conservatory of Music, during which she self-released her first two albums: Lush (2012), and Retired from Sad, New Career in Business (2013). After graduating, Mitski released in 2014 her critically acclaimed third studio album, Bury Me at Makeout Creek through Double Double Whammy. It was followed by Puberty 2 (2016) and Be the Cowboy (2018), released on Dead Oceans to further acclaim.

Life and career

Mitski Miyawaki was born on September 27, 1990, in Japan to an American father and Japanese mother. She grew up surrounded by her father's Smithsonian folk recordings and mother's 1970s Japanese pop CDs. Because of her father's job, which she prefers to not disclose, she and her family moved frequently, living in thirteen countries, including Turkey, China, Malaysia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, before eventually settling in New York City.[1] After enrolling at Hunter College to study film, she decided to pursue music instead and transferred to Purchase College's Conservatory of Music, where she studied studio compositions. During her time at Purchase College, she recorded and self-released her piano-based first and second albums, Lush (2012) and Retired from Sad, New Career in Business (2013), as student projects.[2][3][4] After graduating, she served as the vocalist for the short-lived prog-metal band Voice Coils,[5] and began work on her third studio album, Bury Me at Makeout Creek, which was released on November 11, 2014, through Double Double Whammy. The album represented a sonic departure from Mitski's orchestral and classical piano background found in her first two albums, exchanging it for raw, impulsive guitar.[4] It garnered critical acclaim from numerous publications.[6][7][8][9]

On December 22, 2015, Mitski signed with Dead Oceans before releasing new music the following year.[10] She announced her fourth studio album, Puberty 2, on March 1, 2016, and shared the lead single, "Your Best American Girl".[11] She released another single, "Happy", before the release of the album on June 17.[12] The album was recorded over a two-week period at Acme Studios in Westchester County, New York, and was produced by longtime collaborator Patrick Hyland.[13] The album received widespread acclaim from music critics.[14]

On February 21, 2017, the Pixies announced US tour dates with Mitski as a supporting act.[15] On May 1, a compilation album consisting of 100 songs by different artists titled Our First 100 Days was released. It includes Mitski's cover of One Direction's song "Fireproof". The compilation aims to raise funds for organizations that support causes threatened by Donald Trump's proposed policies.[16] Mitski played a cover of the song back in 2015, but that version has since been taken down.[17] Mitski also covered Frank Sinatra's 1951 classic "I'm a Fool to Want You" for the 7-Inches For Planned Parenthood compilation album.[18] On October 4, Lorde announced Mitski will be an opening act for selected dates as part of her Melodrama World Tour.[19] On November 1, a short film starring Mitski called Sitting was released.[20]

On April 20, 2018, Mitski teamed up with the experimental band Xiu Xiu on the song "Between the Breaths" for the soundtrack of the sci-fi comedy film How to Talk to Girls at Parties, based on the short story of the same name.[21] On May 14, 2018, Mitski's fifth studio album, Be the Cowboy, was made available for pre-order without prior announcement. The lead single, "Geyser", was released on the same day alongside its accompanying music video.[22] The second single, "Nobody", was released on June 26 accompanied by a music video,[23] and the third and final single to precede the album, "Two Slow Dancers", was released on August 9 alongside a lyric video.[24] Be the Cowboy was released on August 17, through Dead Oceans.[25]

Personal life

Mitski reflects her cross-cultural identity as "half Japanese, half American but not fully either", a feeling that is often reflected in her music, which occasionally discusses issues of belonging.[1] Mitski expressed the tension of being a private person and her discomfort with the attention that comes with being in the public eye, therefore preferring to keep her personal life private.[26]
