Isn't it cool

that we all exist on earth together at the same time? That's pretty lucky. Happy Monday, friends. ♡ Kina

BTS: Working with Kurt...

At Kurt's today working on a new video. He's a master. One of the hardest workers I know. Right now he's working on the track and it's so fun just sitting behind him watching him click away and turn things into magic. Ok, back to work!!

Cheap Thrills!

Back to back videos!? This week is crazy. So fun working with Kurt. He's one of the hardest-working, sweetest, most creative people I know. Enjoy my bike dancing ;) ✌🏻️

NSYNC - Tearin' Up My Heart Cover (& MP3 Gift!)

Hey friends!

Here's a little throw back for ya! Hope you enjoy it :)

Some of you may have seen in a post from yesterday that I'm going to do a bit of restructuring within the reward levels to make sure you all feel good and happy and also make sure I can properly deliver! One of the things I'll be adding will be free downloads of any song I release in a video, and to kick things off, I felt like giving you ALL that present today. It'll probably be at the $2 level moving forward, ...

Rewards...

Hi friends!

Now that I'm getting back in the swing of things and starting to make videos again, I'm feeling like it's time I dust off my Patreon page and show it a little love. I want to tidy things up, get organized, start delivering more reliably for you guys, and also restructure the rewards a bit. I have a few ideas of my own, but I'd love to know from YOU--what would you want?? Think small or thing huge, but if there's a reward you would love to see on my page, something that seems fun or...

Single By 30 is here!

Hey friends!

I know you're theoretically here for the music, but as many of you know, I've dipped my toe into the acting pool a bit lately and I wanted to share it with you! I spent last April shooting a series called Single By 30 with my friends Wes and Phil from Wong Fu Productions. It was exciting, scary, overwhelming, amazing... I definitely stretched myself and it felt good (when I wasn't freaking out :/ haha). I got to work alongside an incredible cast--Harry Shum Jr, Eric Ochoa, Hillary...

Today's Hangout!

If you missed the hangout today, you can watch it live here! It's a little choppy at the beginning but I think it settles in to something watchable ;) For those of you that made it, thanks for tuning in! <3

The Wind - Cat Stevens Cover

Happy Monday, friends :)

Here's a little baby of a tune Jesse and I learned for a friend's wedding. I'd never heard it before but I think it's quite a lovely song! The hardest part about singing at weddings is that I'd rather be crying than singing, but I toughed it out and held it together ;)

For $5+ Patrons, keep an eye out later today for the private link for tomorrow's hangout! See you guys soon <3

Impermanent

Ask and you shall receive! (...maybe (...after way too long.)) For so long now you have been asking for a video of my song "Impermanent" and FINALLY I am delivering!! "Impermanent" is a very special song to me, and sadly is a song that most people do not know because it was only released as a bonus track on Elements Japan! So now this little song gets a chance to meet the whole rest of my world and I'm so excited about that. It's a song, as many of my songs are in recent years, abo...

just a hello.

hi friends!

life, it turns out, continues to feel weird post-jakarta. i've been spending a lot of time trying to feel grounded and whole, and in doing so i realize i've kind of fallen off the face of the earth (again). i am doing well, i feel like i'm growing and figuring lots of good stuff out, but all of this has unfortunately temporarily filled the part of my brain that usually goes "hey, tweet!" or "hey, make a video!" i just wanted you all to know that 1. i am okay! 2. i have not forg...

HI FRIENDS :D

No, I am not the fastest hair grower in the world. :/ We shot this video just before we shot Single By 30 (and right before they made me re-chop my hair off)! I've been wanting to share it every since, but decided it should wait to come out with The Living Room Sessions Vol 2 (which is out today, woo!). 

Jesse and I had been wanting to do another video together and we wanted to find the perfect song. Jesse is a long time Paul Simon fan and he introduced me to t...

For Now - Kina Grannis

Hi Patreon Family,

This is "For Now," the other song I wrote during my ‪#‎100DaysinJakarta‬. It is a song about perspective, gratitude, and realizing how amazing it is to simply exist. It brought me a lot of comfort when I was over there.

100 Days In Jakarta

Last September, my band and I left for Jakarta, Indonesia to embark on a tour throughout Southeast Asia. We played exactly 1 show, and then spent the next 99 days fighting to come home. Head to

Above is my song "California," one of two songs I wrote during this time that served to turn some of my pain into something positive. I found a lot of comfort in ...

Meghan Trainor - No / 90's Mashup

You guys I'm obsessed with Nataly. Don't tell her! Ok you can tell her. She's amazing and it was such a great experience getting to collaborate with her after admiring her from afar all these years.

A couple things! One--we gotta get a hangout in the books! I promise to get on top of scheduling this soon. Two, I sorry that I have been, and will continue to be, a little distant for a bit. Since I've gotten home from my unexpected overseas adventure, life has been a little crazy and I'm just...

Forever Blue

Well, hello there. :)

It's been over 5 months since I've shared a video on YouTube. Kind of crazy. I feel at once very happy, nervous, and weird to be back here after such a long absence. That said, I'm very excited to finally be getting back to my life, my music, and all of you. Thank you all for the patience. As some of you know, I went through a bit of a crazy time a few months ago. I can't tell you how much it meant to me to come back from that to all of you still supporting me and wai...

Throw it Away

Here's a special backyard acoustic session of "Throw It Away" with my band! 

I'm writing you all today from a hotel room in Indonesia where I've been with my band for the last two weeks. There's so much I wish I could tell you guys right now, but just know that the band and I are all safe and we're hoping we'll get to go home sometime this week. We're pretty crushed that due to some unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances, all but one of my Asia tour dates were cancelled, but we'r...

Youngblood

Hey Patrons! Hello from Jakarta! Sorry I've been a bit quiet this month. Currently on tour in Southeast Asia and dealing with some unexpected mishaps. More on that later. We will resume monthly hangouts next month when I'm back home again! Sorry I couldn't pull it together over here. ♡ Happy Monday, all! Kina

"Little Worrier" - Sunset Sessions

"Little Worrier" is one of my favorites to play live with my band so I'm so happy I finally got to make a special live video with them! Hope you enjoy it :)

p.p.s. Happy Monday!!

A Day In The Life - Pt 2

Somehow YouTube decided to chop off the second half of my video and I didn't realize it until today. So, without further ado, here's Part 2 of my "Day In The Life" Video!

Enjoy <3

A Day In My Life

Here's a day in my life! I may or may not have cut out a couple hours of email and social media, but I figured you all know what that looks like ;) Thanks to my Executive Level Patrons for this idea! What does a typical day look like for you?

Hello and thanks :)

Hello beloved Patrons!

Just wanted to pop in and say hi and that you're awesome and that I'm so grateful to have you in my life! How are your weeks going so far? What are you guys up to? I also noticed we have a few new members of our little Patreon fam this week. Welcome! I'd love to hear about you guys, where you're from, what you love, your thoughts on ice cream, etc. 

Also, if you're new and have an iOs smart phone, grab the Patreon app so that we can hang ...

Shut Up And Dance

Happy Monday!

So excited to share this cover with you. I started messing around with this song last week as somewhat of a joke, and then, to my surprise, it turned into a beautiful little piece that I absolutely loved singing. Definitely had some fun with harmonies on this one, as well :)

Thanks for your continued awesomeness! Sending happy vibes your way :)

Hi friends!

I've been invited to be one of the first people to try out the new mobile app for Patreon, and that means, by extension, so have you!

Can't Feel My Face

Happy Monday! Joined forces once again with Fresh Big Mouf to make this super fun cover of Can't Feel My Face. I got to wear a leather jacket and fancy boots and pretend I was cool for a day ;) 

Hope you all are well! Thanks as always for your support and generosity! You are amazing.
