About
Kina Grannis is the most warmhearted, lovable and talented musician I've ever met. She sounds great not only on CD but also live. I could listen to her music for hours because every note gives pleasure to my ears and touches my heart. Only by the help of her clear voice and the sound of her guitar, Kina creates music that goes under the skin. You can feel every single word she sings, every single chord she plays -- every single emotion behind her songs! It's rare to hear music that sounds so honest!
THANK YOU, KINA for these magic moments!
This world needs creative people! As a patron I try to help as effectively as possible because I believe in Kina for years! Her music influenced my youth and was a loyal companion through good and bad times. Moreover, she's one of the reasons why I can play the guitar. Now, I'd like to give something back -- my loyalty and support.

Chris Derbidge One of your better covers! You're voice has always been beautiful, but I've noticed an astonishing growth in the range and female attributes since the release of Elements. ]I cannot help but wonder if it is just experience, you focused on a change, or worked with someone? In any case, your acoustic sound and voice is even more phenomenal.

Chris Derbidge You've been told by countless people that you are an important inspiration to them. Hearing that must feel good, but almost too good to be true at times. Has it hit you yet that you are sitting there side by side with talent that you inspired?

Chris Derbidge What I am saying is that, it's not just talk, you are an amazing person that inspires many of us to contribute to the real world in a positive way. Don't ever forget that.

Eric Hofmann My hopes were so high when I saw this song by this duo, and they were exceeded. Also, I hope I'm not the only one who smiled at Kina singing "I was born to endure this kind of weather" when she regards 50ºF as an Arctic nightmare.

Eric Hofmann I've been going over and over this video in my head and now that I'm going to sleep it became clear, which usually just means I should go to sleep and reflect on the apparent clarity in the sober light of day, but I'm feeling lucky. Kina is the most genuine person in the world. This isn't a revelation to anyone. Keeping that in mind, we all have different modes of expression. Think of how we express with our faces depending on whether we're in a room with someone or over the computer. I have thought a great deal about that in the past and best describe it as being "switched on". Again, a person can be genuine (or not!) no matter which position the switch is in, and Kina is always genuine. This is the only official video where she is never singing, and it's the only official video of Jesse's that is also uploaded on her channel, and it's the only official video of Jesse's that she (or he!) appears in visually. I don't think these are coincidences! And I think this is what Kina is like when she's switched OFF. The way she carries herself, the way she expresses herself, it seems different here. Kina invites us into communion with her singing, with her face, with her friendly chatting. This time we are invited instead to observe, or more precisely NOT FORBIDDEN from doing so. Kina has said many times before how important and treasured connection is to her, and there can be no disputing that. For once in three hundred videos, it just so happens that the connection here is primarily with Jesse and we are along for the quite enjoyable ride. I just remembered the My Dear official video which hits a lot of the same notes. So... sort of never mind. But sort of still! It just took me a second dose to realize.

Eric Hofmann I've been puzzled about the My Dear lyrics for a long time too, because for example Jesse doesn't have a scar on his forehead and Kina does. The very last thing I thought last night was "oh! I must look at both lyrics together, that will solve the puzzle, hooray!" Wrong again. But there is a nice connection anyway! Check it out: "If I hold on to you and don't let you go, will you feel me? need me? don't let me go?" "If we're a hundred feet beneath the deepest sea or at the mercy of the tide, no matter where we are, whether you're near or far, I'll be forever on your side." So that's pretty!

Adam (loves you Kina) I agree with you completely Eric, about feeling Kina always being genuine and honest. That's are ally big part of why I am so adamant of supporting her. Her music and beautiful lyrics and voice have helped me in severe times of loss, heartbreak, and pain in general, and they still do, on a daily basis. That was what got me first interested in her as a musician, but her devotion to staying true to herself and her beautiful music abilities push her one step further, to me at least, as a true musical artist. I'm not usually a fan of a lot of musicians, usually because it's an image being pushed by a label, and not the true artist anymore. I've seen this multiple times over the years with artists such as Jewel, Michelle Branch, and more recently Demi Lovato. They changed themselves and their music to suit what the labels wanted, and while some fans followed the changes, I didn't because it's not the same person that attracted me in the first place. And they say they promote girls and young women to be themselves, that they don't need to change for someone else, then they wear skimpy outfits. If that was who they were before, I would have passed. From her music, to her interviews, to her meet-and-greets, to her fundraising for the LLS and through Run Team Kina, and especially her amazing, beautiful, yet traditional clothing styles, which I love unconditionally, because she let's relies on her music and genuinely wonderful singing, song-writing, and guitar and piano-playing talents promote her music, without trying to rely on her sexuality and using skimpy outfits while pretending to promote healthy role-model attributes. We love Kina and her music because of how she is now, and not how someone else would want her to be. Sorry for my novel.

Eric Hofmann I can still remember sitting down to Ellipse after your First Train Home cover and being amazed at how much better your version was. I know it's not a competition etc. but you just killed it. You really just killed it. Also this song, and for that matter The Fire. I mean, she didn't even sing any words! ;)

Jennifer Yarrington First Train Home was my introduction to Kina- I love the song and I wondered if I could learn to play it on the guitar, what would it sound like stripped down- would it work? So I looked on youtube to see if anyone had and...Kina as you noted killed it., omg, it was stunning. I fell down the rabbit hole of her channel that afternoon and watched all of them. And I have been hooked ever since. any Imogen Heap covers are extra special for me!
