Mike Shinoda does more than make music with his band Linkin Park and as a solo rapper in his side-project, Fort Minor. He’s also a respected artist. “Mike Shinoda will be opening his second solo exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum on August 29th, entitled Glorious Excess (Dies),” writes Andrew Michael Ford. “If the success of his first solo at that Museum is any indication, we are all in for quite a treat. Shinoda was gracious enough to take a few moments out of his busy schedule to talk about his upcoming show, his music career and the exciting things, which lay ahead for this gifted artist.”
