Michelle Zauner is the front woman of Grammy nominated indie pop band Japanese Breakfast. Her bestselling memoir spent 60 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list.
Growing up with a Korean mother and an American father, it was after her mother's death that Michelle began to question what was left of her identity with her only link to Korean culture gone.
Finding a creative outlet to channel the grief, Michelle formed her band Japanese Breakfast, and in 2021 released her wildly successful memoir Crying in H Mart which explores loss, identity and using food to connect to her heritage.
Michelle, who was named a TIME 100 Most Influential Person in 2022, speaks with Susie.
The new Japanese Breakfast album For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women) is released on March 21.
