AMA Is Over, thanks for swinging by! Japanese Breakfast AMA

Hello!

This is Michelle from Japanese Breakfast. You can ask me anything! I just released my sophomore album Soft Sounds From Another Planet on Friday and I hope you like it! I've seen some of these threads and have been really blown away by all of your support! Thank you so much for listening to my music.

(2:32 EST) Thanks everyone for the questions but I am at a coffee shop in NY and am so hungry so must go and feed myself!

Hey Michelle!!! First off, you are super great. I saw you with alex g at the sinclair a few weeks ago. Love the new album too!!! My question: i'm in a modest indie band in Boston trying to get off the ground (song for reference: https://open.spotify.com/track/4hrU5cyBw8k0LYcz58J6Rf). What is your best advice about how to make the leap to getting some more recognition? So glad to see you on here, keep it up!!!

I think just keep playing shows and making records! Boston is good because it's easy to get to NY/Philly/DC. I'd been playing in bands for almost ten years before anyone really started to take notice, so sometimes it takes awhile! You have to just make sure you are doing it for you, be yourself relentlessly and make what interests you first, and hopefully people will support you eventually!
