PLAZA
Artist
PLAZA–real name, Michael Martin Kaminski–is a Toronto-based R&B artist formerly signed to OVO Sound, and currently signed to his own label, Shadow Records.
In an interview with Noisey, PLAZA talked about the origin of his name:
Funny enough, it’s all about aesthetics. For me, I’m trying to be the artist that I want to be a fan of. I want to be the artist that I would be intrigued by and excited by. The name is a hard sound—A-Z-A really hits. It’s sort of abstract, but it’s also short and punchy. There’s no great meaning past that.
