 We recently got the chance the attend MIYAVI's concert at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles and were given the opportunity to interview him following it! While many of our readers may know MIYAVI for his work in Visual Kei, a very different MIYAVI rocked the crowd that night. The MIYAVI who performed that night spoke of the problems facing the world and how music can bring people of all stations and walks of life together. It is with this in mind that we step into this interview. While MIYAVI's musicianship and stage presence hasn't dropped one bit, it comes with a new level of maturity and responsibility that can perhaps be seen in the interview. Everything from his first visit to a refugee camp in Lebanon to the inspiration brought to him by young women like Sonita and Emma Gonzalez was discussed. So be sure to check out the interview and keep an eye out for more content like this coming soon!
MIYAVI is a world-renowned musician, actor and philanthropist, dedicated to bridging cultures across the globe with his music and work for numerous humanitarian causes. Often referred to as the “Samurai Guitarist,” MIYAVI is known for his unconventional style of guitar playing – performing not with a pick, but with his fingers in a method dubbed “slap style.” MIYAVI was celebrated internationally for his acting debut, portraying Imperial Japanese Army sergeant Mutsuhiro Watanabe in the 2014 film, Unbroken, directed by Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie. On the humanitarian side, MIYAVI continues his important work with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which works to aid and protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people. In 2016 and 2017, MIYAVI visited refugee camps in around the world and helped to spread the message of the ongoing global refugee crisis. In November 2017, he was appointed an official UN Goodwill Ambassador.  DIR EN GREY recently shared the MV for their latest single with the world and it is indeed a sight to see!
