Ghost: Can you tell us about your journey into music? How did you get started and what inspired you to become an indie artist?
Migize Nodin: I used to watch my dad play guitar when I was kid, I can play a little bit, not a lot, I started recording when I was around 12 as a hobby and as I got older, I kind of figured that this is what I wanna do.
Ghost: Nice! What is the story behind your artist's name? Does it hold a special meaning for you?
Migize Nodin: My artist's name Migize Nodin, is very special to me, as it is my spirit name at the same time as my artist's name. It means eagle wind and was given to me when I was around 21 and I just thought it would be best to use that name.
Ghost: That is awesome! What a unique and awesome name. I love it. How would you describe your music style? What genres or artists have influenced your sound?
Migize Nodin: I'm not quite sure how to explain my music. I guess I kinda just let people do that for themselves, Juice world has definitely influenced some of my newer songs I like the idea of singing and rapping together, I'm also influenced my other artists such as Atmosphere, immortal technique, Eminem, EYEDEA and abilities plus various others of many genres.
Ghost: Nice, I love Atmosphere. We're both from Minnesota! Can you share the creative process behind your latest album/single? How do you usually go about writing and producing your songs?
Migize Nodin: Well, my latest single save me is written around the first verse as I am a feature on an unreleased song using that verse, I already kinda had an idea of where and how I wanted that song to go. I have a sound engineer (Cortez black) he's really dope at what he does, and I usually find a beat that'll strike some sort of inspiration and try to find an idea or something that people can relate to.
Ghost: Nice! What challenges have you faced as an indie artist? How have you overcome them?
Migize Nodin: Marketing, Networking and getting views. I'm trying my best. I do have one song that's about to reach 12k streams so that's pretty exciting, and I couldn't be more grateful, I'm still trying to overcome these obstacles lol. But one-day I'm sure I'll master this as well as my craft for writing.
Ghost: I think you will brother. Can you tell us who inspired your passion for music growing up?
Migize Nodin: Definitely my dad, as I said earlier, he played guitar and I used to watch him jam out all the time. That sparked my interest in all music, I think.
Ghost: Nice. I can relate, my dad was into playing music as well. What message do you want to convey through your music? Is there a particular theme or emotion you aim to evoke in your listeners?
Migize Nodin: Mental health issues are a big thing in my music, as I do struggle with it on a daily basis but then again who doesn't right lol, I just want people to know they're not alone during hard times, and to reach out. Other songs, I'm speaking on native topics about our past and things that have happened to us not to long ago, trying to open the eyes of people who can't understand our pain and suffering.
Ghost: Nice. I'm a big supporter of learning about history that is not taught in schools. Canada and the US have some dark pasts regarding how the indigenous were and still are treated. What are your future plans? Are there any upcoming projects or collaborations that your fans should look forward to?
Migize Nodin: I'm currently working on an EP called laminar flow, I'm behind on it so getting it out this year is a must. I got a secret collaboration coming up, I can't say who the artist is I've been following them for a really long time though.
Ghost: Nice! I can't wait to hear it! Thank you for sharing your time, wisdom, and passion. We look forward to celebrating the magic of music with you.
