🎥 “Rich and Beautiful” 2

Kill Rock Stars // Gucci

‪…listening to the demos from this new record I’ve been working on with Gino Mari. ‬

‪I sound like a horny, deranged madman who has been trapped inside his house for half a year on every single one of these songs. ‬

This Tuesday, June 2nd I’ll be disconnecting from work to participate in the #MusicIndustryBlackout and stand in solidarity with my colleagues, fellow artists, and the community. This is not a day off.

As gatekeepers of the culture, it’s our responsibility to not only come together to celebrate the wins, but also hold each other up during loss. Join us as we take an urgent step of action to provoke accountability and change together. ✊

#TheShowMustBePaused

Congrats to Kit Williamson, John Halbach, and my entire Netflix EastSiders TV family on being a Critic’s Pick in today’s New York Times Sunday Arts section!

If you haven’t already, go watch this show right now. I had the absolute pleasure of being much of the soundtrack you hear throughout Season 4, and am so proud to be a part of this big gay moment in time.

Long live #EastSiders! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

‪All my dreams came true this decade — even the nightmares — and I am grateful for both. ‬

‪Alive is cool. 🖤‬

‪Honored to be featured on The Good Men Project this week! Check it out at www.GoodMenProject.com 💙‬

Always funny to me when some puffed up clout chasing homophobe starts being gross or hateful in my direction to try and shame, scare or bully me publicly.

Like, uhhhh…I was abused as a child in the church, escaped that cult on my own as a 12 year old, left my family as a 14 year old, came out of the closet, survived being gay in Nebraska, survived being gay in Michigan, survived being gay in Kansas, survived being gay in Tennessee, survived being a gay homeless drug addict in the streets of San Francisco and Portland for 16 years after that, survived mental health crises, eventually got well on my own, survived being gay in Hollywood, survived the media, and have managed to build a truly happy life in the 12 years since that I am actually excited about living, as well as a career that I am super proud of.

These little videos and internet posts calling me gay and crazy never hurt me. GAY AND CRAZY IS LITERALLY MY BRAND. 🌈🖤

I had a super deep conversation with Mitski a couple of years ago, just before she boarded the rocket ship to Mars, and it has always stuck with me.

She’s such a powerful force, such a bright light — but also so sensitive and aware. It’s a really special mix of humanity and talent that she has so generously shared with the world, and I recall just wanting to shield her from all of what I knew was headed her way at the time.

The thing about the music industry, touring endlessly, and the commodification of one’s innermost self, is that the business model is very rarely centered around taking care of that individual’s human needs — and for anyone even remotely rooted in authenticity, navigating this shit is exhausting.

I blew up my major label deal and the career I had spent decades building back in 2010 and it was the best decision I have ever made. That pivot is ultimately why I decided I liked music again and made it possible for me to come back as my whole self later.

As Mitski the very successful artist deletes social media, hangs up her cowboy hat, and exits the public eye to become Mitski Miyawaki the person again, I hope you will all join me in wishing her well.

These stages are forever yours, darling. They’ll be here if you want them. Now go rest, feel proud, and EAT EVERYTHING.

💜💙

Happy Record Store Day 2019!

If you’re in Portland, go pick up a copy of one of these babies (pictured above) at Music Millennium.

For those of you who don’t have a record store in your town, or your local shop doesn’t carry my tunes, you can always have them special order titles for you, or you can listen and buy direct from the record store RIGHT HERE on this site. 📀

Thank you for your support!

‪THIS IS WILD. ‬
