At a suburban school in Virginia, she decided to be the quiet girl, and barely spoke to her classmates all year. Changing schools almost yearly, she was always the new kid, always the foreigner, trying on personae-the studious girl, the party girl-with varying degrees of success and self-alienation. By the time Mitski was eighteen, she had lived in Japan, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Turkey, Alabama, and Virginia. Her mother, whose last name she uses, is Japanese her father is American and worked for the State Department, in capacities that she does not discuss. But Mitski Miyawaki, who is now twenty-eight, had not envisaged a future as a musician, or much of a future at all. That may not seem particularly precocious in an era when adolescent pop phenoms release entire albums that were recorded in their parents’ house.
Mitski, the indie musician, was eighteen when she wrote her first song.
