Miyavi Fanart
Miyavi is Japanese singer-songwriter, guitarist and record producer. He has been active since 1999, first as guitarist for the now defunct visual kei rock band Dué le Quartz and then as a solo artist starting in 2002. In 2007, he became a member of the rock supergroup S.K.I.N., and in 2009 founded his own company, J-Glam.
In the second year of junior high school, a sports injury prevented him from pursuing a professional career in sports. Instead, at the age of 15, he learned to play the guitar. He bought a guitar and began covering songs by Ray Charles.
He was particularly fond of visual kei acts, such as X Japan and Luna Sea, but also listened to the blues, Motown, hard rock like Metallica and L.A. Guns, and industrial music like Nine Inch Nails
Now Miyavi is referred to as the Samurai Guitarist because of his unconventional style of playing the guitar—not with a pick, but with his fingers and his “slap style” .
