- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Kawehi opens TEDxKC using looping and beatboxing to make this cover of Nirvana's Heart-Shaped Box her own creation.
Special thanks to Hint's Teri Rogers and her tech team (Daniel Goggin and Ben Vanasse) for providing on-stage special effects.
With a voice uniquely her own, Hawaiian singer-songwriter Kawehi draws you in with her catchy hooks and honest lyric. Manned by a guitar, KoAloha ukulele and Boss RC-300 looping station, she's known across the nation as a "one-man band," creating intricate loops via beatboxing and creative guitar/ukulele usage. Since taking a giant leap to Lawrence, Kansas from her home in Hawaii, she has been featured in Music Connection magazine's "Hot 100 Unsigned Artists & Bands" in 2011. Kawehi is also known across the web as "The Kickstarter Darling," raising funds for three EPs through crowdfunding alone.
Now with more than 300 shows nationally under her belt, Kawehi is making a name for herself as a true DIY artist, creating music that is both tangible and relative - and generating much-deserved attention from both fans and industry folk alike.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
"making herself as a true DIY?" hmmm, she's pretty real to me and real to me is pure honesty of talent - she is KAWEHI - a blessing for us to experience her soul - pure beauty my friends... and much more :)
I AM A MEGA FAN OF THIS WOMAN !!! I FOLLOW her since she started with a single mic and a small speaker in her living room...
I remember when I first watched her cover this on her youtube channel, i was very impressed. Still am. Super stoked that she's repping Hawaii
Just listen to this girl...... awesome...
Goosebumps on this one thanks 😍
Kawehi!! Loved that isshh!!
Love this. Thank you so much! I follow you. You inspire me.
I love Kawehi!
Great voice, great cover of Nirvana.
BLOWN back a little, awesome cover in its own right
OMG YOU WERE ON TED!?!?!?
i know right?!
This is haunting, feels very tragic and posthumous, I thought I heard Kurt Cobain himself in the guitar sample at one point. This song summons his spirit.
I think if Kurt could have seen this he would have been just as awe inspired as us, as a feminist and someone whose joy was monetised, I think this performance is such a huge statement of how far the music world has travelled in 20 years
Love it!
beautiful.
I love Kawehi.
Kawehi incredibl, I gut see wen shee come tu NY !!!
I would love to hear her play an Eigenharp. Does everything that all her equipment does in 1 package.

Not bad, but still like her other version just a little better. For some reason, I also missed the wine glass.
5 million Subs, 8k views? Erm?

Not bad, but still like her other version just a little better. For some reason, I also missed the wine glass.
