1. Thank you for taking some time to be interviewed by our independent publication. It’s greatly appreciated. Jumping right in. When did your journey in music start? Who got you into this wave? How did you learn how to record yourself?

Music has always been a part of my life from a young age, just from hearing my folks play shit around me that I liked early on. I didn’t start taking it seriously until 2014 when I bought my own setup, and everything from then on was self-taught.

2. Who gets bragging rights for helping you get to where you are now? Who were your biggest supporters/comrades in the come up.

Bragging rights go to manifestation, fate, the universe, & the family and friends who believed in me the whole way through. Especially my brothers in Midnight Society.

3. What’s going on with the Midnight Society? Is the collective going to make a play together at any point?

Midnight Society is alive and well, we’ve spent the past few years doing our own solo missions but we’re pulling it all back in for a project we plan to release this year called “Night Mode”

4. What does Kamiyada+ have in store for us later this year? Any new music releases, visuals, or tours we can plug in this interview?

As far as my releases I have music of many different genres that I’m sitting on, and I plan to roll it all out monthly starting with this Kill The Space God 2 project.

5. What about beyond 2023? What are your long-term goals. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

My future goals always consist of growth and becoming a better me all around. Striving to evolve as an artist and a human daily.

6. With an interest in who your influences are, if you went on a headlining tour and could pick anyone to be on the lineup with you, dead or alive, who would you choose? What’s your dream tour?

Dream tour would be Tool, A Perfect Circle, Deftones, Layne Staley era alice in chains, Type O negative, too many I could go on forever.

7. You toured Japan! What was that like?! Where else in the world would you like your music to take you?

Japan is always a safe haven for me and the guys. We love it there and it’s always the best time playing sold out

shows there and tapping in with the friends we have on that side. Definitely looking to do more in Asia as well as Europe this year.

8. If you could go back in time and give yourself some advice, what would it be?

I’d tell myself to worry more about my personal interests instead of trying to please others.

9. Who are some of your favorite producers to work with and why?

ZCR is always a pleasure to work with, he knows my sound well. Dutchman & Virus are like the back bones of my sound coming into this shit, and then newer people i’ve met like my mentor & best friend Tim Randolphe who’s been handling production on most of my newer tracks.

10. As we wrap this up, I just want to say thank you again. And is there anything else you would like our readers to know?

If you love something give it your all.
