Discussing the single and video, Andy Mineo states, “My buddy John [Wordsplayed] and I visited the Shibuya ward in Tokyo, Japan, and were inspired by the scenery. Finding a fresh take on the world is hard to do if you stay in the same spot, so we wanted to pay homage to the experience we had and put the city on my fans’ radar. Sharing things that inspire me is central to my brand, so I hope this song encourages people to find out more of what Japan has to offer.”
Mineo grew up in the Syracuse area. A troubled kid, music became his constructive outlet. His mix of hip-hop and pop serves as an energetic, positive influence, with a focus on cultural influences and overarching visions to create unforgettable media experiences. Andy Mineo’s 2014 single “You Can’t Stop Me” was certified Gold by the RIAA, and he has headed out on multiple 30+ date tours across the U.S., sharing the stage with artists such as Tory Lanez, Logic, Fetty Wap, and Jon Bellion.

Now, you’re all probably thinking either one of two things: 1. Why is The Nerdy Basement covering music? or 2. Wow. The Nerdy Basement is now covering music. Whatever it is you’re thinking, we figured we’d experiment a little bit with this news since it was sent our way. Especially after giving the music video a listen/view.
Seeing it filmed in Japan serving as both a vlog and a ride along through the streets of beloved city. Being huge fans of the genre of music and of Japan as a whole, I figured, “Why not?”. Either way, we hope you enjoyed And Mineo’s new single and music video. Make sure to keep an eye out for his upcoming EP ‘Happy Thoughts’ releasing November 11th.
