Allison sits down with a trailblazing world renowned artist from Japan, MIYAVI, nicknamed the “Samurai Guitarist” for his distinctive slap-guitar style. He has completed 8 world tours playing in over 30 countries, and has released 13 albums. He is also an actor starring in films like Angelina Jolie’s Oscar-nominated, “Unbroken” and will be in the upcoming film, “The Wrecking crew” with Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista. He was Gucci’s first Japanese model and has walked the runway at both Paris and New York Fashion Week. He is also a goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, and a family man. We talk all about his new album “Lost In Love, Found In Pain,” his journey to global superstardom, personal growth, life lessons, fatherhood, and what it was like to throw the first pitch at the Dodgers game. • Watch & Subscribe https://youtube.com/AllisonHagendorf  • Listen & Follow: https://link.chtbl.com/TheAllisonHagendorfShow  • Follow Allison:  Official Website: https://allisonhagendorf.com  https://instagram.com/allisonhagendorf  https://TikTok.com/@allisonhagendorf  https://twitter.com/allihagendorf  The Allison Hagendorf Shop: https://allisonhagendorf.myshopify.com  Presented by Cloud Water  Visit https://www.cloudwaterbrands.com & Use code Allison30 for 30% your next order An A-Game Production / Recorded at Danny Wimmer Presents Studios  Produced by Allison Hagendorf, Brian Jaffe, & Jake Miller Guest gift bags - Arctic Zone  https://arcticzone.com   Wardrobe by Tribute Project https://tributeprojectcouture.com  Photos by Nikki Phillips https://first3noflash.press/ Show Open Created & Edited by Guerilla McGavin  https://instagram.com/guerillamcgavin  https://guerillamcgavin.com Show Open Music (Courtesy of Island Records): Kid Brunswick - Bipolar Rhapsody - https://sptfy.com/Q31a  Show Music: Ferdinand fka Left Boy - Sex Party - https://spoti.fi/3juqX1O #MIYAVI #SamuraiGuitarist #GuitarHero 00:00 - Show Open 01:59 - MIYAVI Interview 04:11 - Making the New Album 06:22 - Influences & Versatility of the Album 09:42 - Stepping Out From The Guitar 13:14 - Growing Up An Outsider & Finding Soccer 14:47 - Keeping Guitar Music Alive 16:42 - New Generation for Rock 17:48 - Making Music Your Life 23:45 - Broken Fantasy & Unbroken 27:25 - It’s So Amazing Ft George Clinton 30:00 - One More Time & Family 35:12 - Impact of Mother & Independence 40:11 - New Album & Fans* 42:24 - The Wrecking Crew Movie & Gucci 45:22 - Dodgers & Throwing the First Pitch 53:24 - Deep Cuts 1:00:05 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
