Post your comments about our Miwa Lyric Interview and let us know what you thought of her.
“I wanted to be a songwriter, and write songs for big name people, but as I encountered different problems, relating to race, gender, poverty, and life in general, I didn’t find anyone out there who represented me to perform my songs and speak my lyrics.” – Miwa Lyric
And so began a life’s journey into the world of music, poetry and soul searching. Miwa Lyric, born in Los Angeles, has dealt with the issues of Japanese-Americans all her life. Profoundly affected by the works of Tupac Shakur, she took rap as the major instrument in her own self-expression.
So if you are in the mood for some gritty rap about life and death and everything in between (and have no problems with Parental Advisory stickers on your music) come learn the story of the rapper who says: “Light lip gloss, I wear flip flops, I don’t crip walk but I’m still hip hop.”
On May 21, 2010 Miwa Lyric was kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. Miwa Lyric Interview.

Thanks again Miwa for sharing so much with us. Have a great year!
Thank you for sharing another inspiring message. You make me the proudest sister in the world. LOVE YOU!
Dope!
Been a fan and always will, keep it up Miwa.
You are so deep, so wise. I remember one time seeing you live and at one point you gathered some of us to just ponder thoughts. You weren’t trying to get attention, you were smiling and mysterious, while everyone boasted and talked about nothing important, but when you spoke I remember all the words reaching to me and it made me think really hard but when we got it we talked about it for days, for months, and years. Till this day the words you speak and the songs you sang stay with me and stick with me, and that’s what triggers me to push forward. I hope you never stop cause people need that awakening. Stay beautiful in all ways.
