You have pretty out-there style. Can you talk about some of the key pieces you've worn over the past few years, like that wolf headpiece?

Well, there’s a lot of different denotations of Native American pieces I wear, and that stems from me being part [Native American]. Sometimes I do that, other times I'll go for like the Dragon Ball Z suit. That had to actually be made for me. It was extremely difficult because we had to find the specs. And every piece people have seen me in like that on stage has been handmade.

Do you pay any attention to fashion trends?

It's a combination. I do pay attention to fashion, but I do tend to mix things up based on inspiration.

Are there any brands that are special to you?

One of my favorites is Rad Hourani, who's from Montreal. We recently came into contact and have begun to work together more. There are also a few brands from L.A. I like, too, like Cosmo and Nathalia. They make some really interesting pieces. I'm also a very big Gucci fan. They just do amazing pieces.

What do you have from them?

Well, I don't have too much Gucci. Their stuff is very difficult to come across, especially the couture pieces.

What do you think of Alessandro Michele and the direction he's taken the brand?

I love it. It's just been fantastic. We've seen all the crazy Dr. Seuss shoes, the replicas of the Japanese kimono jackets. But I try to find inspiration from all around. I also really loved the new Comme des Garçons collection.

The women's show from Paris?

Yeah, oh my God. It's on an artistic level, which is what you want it to be. I also cannot forget to mention Dries Van Noten.

__One of the best. __

For the Grammys, I remember wondering if I should purchase a Dries piece. It was one of those things that would just be way too hot to wear, though [laughs].

You're also a fan of Tokyo and that city's culture. Have you been shopping in Tokyo before?

Tokyo style is so specific. And I'm a very big fan of their history. It's pretty simple. A lot of the time people expect to see the wild style that comes out of Japan, but I think traditionally the style is very simple. I was expecting there to be all these luxury brands when I was there. I was like, "Where's the Japanese Louis Vuitton?" But I came to realize the style was more about kimonos, handmade things, denim, patchwork. But I did discover brands like Visvim when I was there.

What are some Visvim pieces you wear?

I have the sandals, which people have seen me wear on stage. People are always like, "What the hell are those?" ’cause they make it look like both of my feet are broken. But going back to the sort of cosplay character stuff, it comes from the mixture of things I see in Japan. But it also stems from the company I've kept throughout the years, especially with Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Those guys were style lords. I remember seeing Taz Arnold when he first created TI$A.

Can't mention Taz Arnold without bringing up the legendary South Park photo.

He let people know what was up.

So, Michael McDonald is on your new album. What's he like?

That's like seeing the Big Lebowski in real life. He feels no need to dress it up, and that translates to his fashion style in real life. When I met him, he looked exactly like I thought he would look. The guy is one of the greatest songwriters, and he looks like a master. You know like in those old movies when they fight through the temple to get to the master? And he's just sitting there smoking a pipe? That's Michael McDonald.
