Get to know : Malachi Chee

How do you feel about your name?

I love my name.

Do you have any scars or birthmarks?

I have a shit ton of scars from messing around when I was a kid. I was outside all the time, exploring, riding horses, and probably getting into things I shouldn't have, so I managed to pick up a lot of cuts here and there.

What style of clothes do you like to wear?

Tshirts, Jean's, shorts, button up shirts.

What items do you keep next to your bed?

My phone and a guitar.

What is your’s most valuable possession?

My guitars.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

Give a ton of money to my hometown community.

What things do you wish were different about your current profession?

I don't know. I enjoy what I do so I can't really think of anything.

Do you want to have children?

Maybe at some point. It depends on who I end up with and whether they want kids or not.

What do you value most in a friendship?

Companionship. Just being able to go out and have fun doing whatever.

Who are your closest friends?

The guys I rent an apartment with.

[msshelbycorcoran01]

Yeah, for sure. I’ll check and see if I can work my current job schedule around it - but yeah I’m definitely interested.

Might have to do that - you know, make a good impression to start off with.

Wonderful, here is my work email. I check it every day, let me know when or if you’re available and we’ll make it happen.

[kaianoki]

I'll get an email sent as soon as I'm done with work today. Once again, thanks for the opportunity.

[designerbrennam]

Literally need to update my playlist, because the music on my playlist now is boring me and I am literally so in desperate of new songs. Oh and if you don’t know me, I’m Brenna Murphy and the new up and coming costume designer. 

[kaianoki]

What kind of music are you interested in? I'm always willing to try suggesting some new music. Nice to meet you, by the way. I'm Malachi or Kai, guitar teacher.

[kaianoki]

Is there anything you hope to see change in your future?

I would love to be able to provide somehow for my community back home in Arizona at some point in my future, somehow create more opportunities for everyone back there.

[kaianoki]

Due to not having many LGBTQ plus people in your community how has NYC changed how you feel? Do you feel less alone?

Yeah there's definitely a lot more LGBTQ individuals around NYC and there's a lot more acceptance of it. But even though there was no other LGBTQ individuals in my hometown I didn't really feel alone. My family and friends did their best to make sure I felt like I had a bit of a community, it wasn't the same as the community that NYC has but yeah.

[kaianoki]

What is something you wish more people knew about your heritage? Or something you are proud of with your heritage?

I'm definitely proud of every part of my culture, 100%. One of my favorite parts is my communities Pow Wow, it's always an event between my community and a few other Native American communities nearby. I always go back home to take part in it cause it's always a great time.

I wish more people knew how Native American reservations truly were. Life on reservations could definitely be a lot better, but I know as far as my community goes we made the best of what we had and it's a pretty good way of life - a little more simple than most small towns of America.

[kaianoki]

What is it like having so many siblings? Where do you land age wise between them all?

I'm the oldest out of my siblings. It was honestly a crazy house growing up, there was always something going on for sure. It's still pretty loud whenever I go visit my family.

[kaianoki]

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Still living in New York, maybe doing something more with my guitar playing. I don't know. I try to just let things flow naturally, whatever happens happens.

[kaianoki]

Did you play guitar hero as a kid ?

Yeah I did.

[kaianoki]

Why did you choose to play the guitar over any other instrument?

My father knew how to play guitar and wanted to share his love for the instrument with me when I was a little kid, so I just grew up loving it. It was just an automatic choice.

[kaianoki]

What would you say is the key to happiness?

Just doing things you enjoy and being around people you love.

[kaianoki]

If you could transport yourself into any fictional universe which one would it be and why?

Harry Potter.

[inkstainedfingersfabray]

kaianoki‌:

Yeah I mean it was something I thought of pursuing, still do at times. But I’m also content at where I am currently, which is what I was looking for when I moved here.

Don’t get me wrong though, if the opportunity came up to turn my guitar playing into something more than being a teacher - I’d take it.

You know that I know several people in the music industry? I’m not saying any of them are going to sign you to a record deal, but if you wanted me to pass along a demo or two, I could.

[kaianoki]

I'd hate to ask you for that big of a favor. But I mean if you would be willing to pass along a demo, I may have to take you up on that offer.

Yeah I can only imagine how awkward conducting guitar lessons would be. I’m assuming I’d lose a lot of students that way.

The lessons are going good, there’s a few who stick out as could be future music stars - but I mean it’s all up to how much they want to pursue music.

Most things come down to that, don’t they? It’s all fun and games to play at something, but when it comes to putting in the real work to make a go of anything, you need that passion for it if you want to succeed. 

Did you ever want to be a big star?

[kaianoki]

Yeah I mean it was something I thought of pursuing, still do at times. But I'm also content at where I am currently, which is what I was looking for when I moved here.

Don't get me wrong though, if the opportunity came up to turn my guitar playing into something more than being a teacher - I'd take it.

That’s a real bummer, I always hate catching anything. Hope you get to feeling better.

More than just a bummer. haha But thank you. We are all getting better now. A couple more days and then, we will all be back on set.

[kaianoki]

That's good to hear, glad you're all feeling better.
