Mitski is biracial, and she was born in Japan and grew up surrounded by her mother’s 1970s pop CDs. Her family moved frequently, from Japan to Malaysia, China, Turkey, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, among other countries before finally settling in New York City. Her music reflects her cross-cultural identity as “half Japanese, half American, but not fully either,” and discusses issues of belonging. Mitski has stated that she is uncomfortable with the attention that comes with being in the public eye and prefers keeping her personal life private.
