Japanese rockstar MIYAVI electrified New York City with his passionate guitar performance at Webster Hall, marking the start of his North American tour. Over six cities in seven days, MIYAVI has refined his show with rigorous two-hour practice sessions, focusing on connecting with fans. He noted the intimacy of these performances, emphasizing the personal engagement with the audience. Despite years since his last U.S. tour, his dedication to artistry and performance remains unwavering, exemplified by the physical toll of his craft, even drawing blood during his set.
Every day I'm just thinking about the show performance and how to entertain the audience. It's like a boot camp. I gotta entertain my kids, as well.
When I am at home, I can focus on my audience, my fans, and how to communicate with them, and how to make the show better every single day.
This time it's a really intimate show with the audience. They can see how sweaty I get, and I connect with them on another level.
I practiced for two hours ahead of the show, refining my sound and performance... It's a cycle: eat, sleep, and repeat.
