Japan’s Miyavi started his career in visual kei band Dué le Quartz, back in 1999 and by the early 2000s he’d struck out on his own, blending rock, pop, and electronic elements with his signature percussive slap guitar technique, earning himself the name Samurai Guitarist. Since then he’s released 14 albums, including last year’s ‘Lost in Love, Found in Pain,’ plus, thanks to acting alongside Angelina Jolie in 2014’s ‘Unbroken,’ he continues his work as an ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. He continues to act — his next role is alongside Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista in ‘The Wrecking Crew’ and now he’s added sake-maker to his string of accomplishments. Oh, and he’s learning Chinese.

He popped into the studio for the first time to discuss all this, plus fatherhood, the key to a successful relationship, his mission to bring guitars back, playing villains and doing stunts, his admiration of Benson Boone and Ziploc bags (no really), and much more.

A lot has changed since the last time the former Why Don’t We member Daniel Seavey joined us in the studio. When we caught up with the 25-year-old this time round he was fresh from Florida, having testified at the Why Don’t We trial against their former management. Seavey discusses what it was like to be up on the stand, the true toll of WDW’s schedule, and how the rest of the guys are doing.

But primarily we’re talking new beginnings and his debut solo album, ‘Second Wind.’ He dives deep into the creation of the record, working alongside songwriter and friend Michael Pollack, playing snippets of demos from ‘Gateway Drug’ and what it was like playing the song ‘If I Ever Get to Heaven’ in front of his best friend, YouTuber Corey LeBarrie’s family for the first time — a song that deals directly with his tragic passing back in 2020.

He also opens up about his romance with Kat Castellano (how they fell in love and the many songs she inspired), not to mention rock bottom turning points and getting sober. Plus his journey with his faith (having grown up as a Pastor’s son) and the wild ride that is touring with Benson Boone.

From model to MMA fighter to actor, 37-year-old Ryan Guzman has garnered a dedicated following thanks to roles on the silver screen — through the ‘Step Up’ movie franchise — and primetime, where he’s been playing firefighter Eddie Diaz on the Ryan Murphy-produced procedural drama ‘9-1-1.’

The Texas-born, Mexican-American actor joins us in the studio for the first time to share his journey up to this point, including his love of mixed martial arts, what it was like coming up as a broke model, and his transition to acting. Plus, he discusses landing a breakdancing role with zero dance experience, being a dad, Catholic guilt, identity, and dealing with male objectification.

Guzman also opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his dear friend, choreographer and actor Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who really took him under his wing while working on ‘Step Up.’
