She plays piano, violin, synth and the rare ondes Martenot - and she produces every note herself. Here is how a Columbia student turned a viral song called 'The King' into a career built entirely on her own terms.
Mitski
Mitski (born Mitsuki Laycock, stage name Mitski Miyawaki) is a Japanese-American singer-songwriter and indie rock icon who built a devoted cult following with raw, emotionally devastating albums before breaking into mainstream consciousness with the 2023 TikTok phenomenon 'My Love Mine All Mine' from her seventh album 'The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We'. Born in Japan to an American diplomat father and Japanese mother, she grew up across seven countries and channeled a nomadic, identity-fractured childhood into some of the most confessional and precise songwriting of her generation. With eight studio albums and an Academy Award nomination under her belt, Mitski occupies a singular position in modern music: a fierce creative loner beloved by millions who resists the machinery of fame even as it claims her.
