( 1 ) Aminé is the stage name of Adam Aminé Daniel.
( 2 ) The newspaper Aminé is reading on the cover is The Good For You Post—a real publication he produced and distributed to fans at pop-ups in LA and New York City. It addresses topics as diverse as gentrification, supernovas and skating, includes recipes and a word search, and features an article written by his mother.
Aminé is a certified Good Time.1 Despite being in danger of missing a flight to Japan, he’s all smiles, his eyes sparkling over our video call. He makes it into a cab and settles into the back seat. The sunroof bathes him in the warm California morning sun. Beneath his mint green headphones and oversized navy hoodie, he looks like he’s rolled straight out of bed: black beard wispy and untamed, a couple of stray dreadlocks hanging down beside his face.
