HAPPY MONDAY MOFOS!!!! As promised, here is a new music video for ANTHEM, the first single off of my latest release, Robot Heart. Every sound you hear on ANTHEM was created solely with my vocals - hence Paul's idea behind the video:)
I realized after we finished recording the EP that all of the songs were about a Robot stealing peoples hearts and about questioning the worth of the human race as a whole. It was fucking depressing...which doesn't usually bother me, but this time, I was thirsty for something positive. And thus came the idea of ANTHEM - as a reminder that yeah, we can be assholes at times - but as a race, we are in charge of our own lives - and ultimately we can make a difference in the lives of others through generosity and compassion.
I believe in you - you are the answer, you are the truth - so whatcha gonna do?
Say YO! to Paul: vimeo.com/user9...
Boom shaka-laka,
Kawehi

stormlrd Agree, makes no sense.
Kawehi is a miracle! In a world and industry so overloaded with crap and plastic people, here is a real, genuine, authentic, adorable, beautiful (inside and out), woman, doing it ALL herself!! I'd say I'm her biggest fan... but love is really not a competition.
+J. Michael I second this. Beatbox Vox Represent!
This single song beats every modern artist hands down.
+Sean Kula HELLS YAH see is amazin'
I can't explain how I got here, but I want to say this song came to me at *exactly* the right time. Exactly. I mean it, and it shaped a certain moment of time where it was playing in the background in such a profound way, it deserves its own movie. You are a pure soul, thank you. I truly believe in you too. And everyone else like you.
Years ago and found me just like that to!! Hopefully through a lot of work, I got TV shows and movies connected together, and there’s an episode called “ I believe and hope” I have to pay to make sure that song is in that episode!!
This Lady is a force to be recon’ed with period!
9 years later, still one of my favorite songs.
More and more admiration for this artist. One of a kind and quickly becoming the best loop artist ever. Slick production and her tune is truly an anthem
_LIKE IT!!!_
☺☺☺ *{:-)R*
Still such an under appreciated production!
First time in a long time I've watched a music video edited minimally in a way that makes actual sense with the song, whilst keeping the artist's authenticity in her performance. No distraction with low nonsense and the boxes focus our attention on her making of it & what she does: loop her multi faces of talent into a 1-girl band. The genius behind this execution made me enjoy the music all the more (otherwise what's the point in having visual content to accompany a song at all). Plus the little visual aspects you add like dance moves that come naturally to you in response to the music & your expressions that convey genuine musical enjoyment are precious.
First time in a while I have seen an artist of this day & age use technology not to autotune herself (since there's no need), but to multiply her potential for her music.
First time I have decided a single favourite artist. No hesitant 'one of'. Reason is you take popular songs I almost lost all musical vision in & bring out the musical potential in them. Something I always enjoyed doing with my instruments. You spin music like magic & it is an amazing thing when you strip everything else away.
First time I may have heard such multi-faceted music (including a voice) so completely soothing to the ear in every way that music should be: rhythmically, harmonically naturally & unegotistically.
Simply for the genuine & pure enjoyment of music for all, both the maker & the listener. I hope this aspect of you will always stay with you whatever you do as it has already inspired me to do the same.
She is always surprising in what she does. A true artist who is creative and makes the songs her own.
This song literally is WHAT HAS KEPT ME GOING FORWARD.
I LOVE YOU KAWEHI
This track has me crying making me think of my belief in and hope in helping my wife overcome her depression with her Dad passing ❤️❤️❤️
Your version of "Heart-Shaped Box" is my favourite but this new song comes close. You're so gifted, keep it coming please.
I'm with you on HSB... Outstanding cover.
Why aint this got a million+ views, this is the best thing since... a long time.
She was amazing in Hamburg, performing this song..Brought me to tears
This is the total package. Great beat, grooving bassline, wonderful soaring harmonies, and a clever-ass video. Slow clap into standing ovation.
700k…. Awesome!! I wanna see when these hits 1 Mill !! These song ….. the beginning of loving myself!! Struggling but stell trying to get my voice acting coming to life!! Relearning life after surgery on the left side of my brain! These was the song, that stopped my from killing myself!! Years later, trying to write movies and TV shows connected to each otha!! And this song is so connected to an episode “I believe in hope” when I get that far, I will gladly pay to use this song in an episode because this song is so important to the episode it’s completely about!!
This is almost therapeutic
I have to say that this song is one of the most inspirational things in my life. It makes me remember how important it is to stop and breath for a second; to remember that all of us are connected and we should help each other out. Thank you so much for this wonderfully written song with an amazing video to go along with it. Props to you and everyone that worked on this one!
Absolutely, This is smoking hot. She knows her "Indies and outs" very talented, Loved the ingenious creativity cant leave out her style & beautiful voice...
Must have played this 60 times now. Still love it! Especially when the last part kicks in where the bass synth gets all the attention, my foot is no longer tapping, my entire leg is swinging up and down!
I really like all of Kawehi's stuff, but this is one of my favourites.
She is SO CREATIVE & ORIGINAL - I LOVE her work. Count me as a new fan.
the lyrics of this song truly touch me, thank you Kaweki :''')
The video effects are so awesome! And the song is just *chef's kiss*
My fave song! Ever.
I have been following Kawehi a few years. She has huge talent. Love her.
I actually prefer this version to the album one. Listening to you building the song piece by piece is one of my favorite aspects of your music, and all loop-based music in general. It's much more satisfying to listen to, than the version where all of the loops are recorded before you begin the main vocals.
Have loved this song since it came out in 2014, now here in 2019 it's still one of my fav songs
I need to hear more originals! They’re all hidden 😢
I saw Kawhehi live in Vancouver and it was amazing watching her! She is so talented and the way she can construct songs and covers of songs is really incredible!
So good. I can hear early Janet Jackson influence in your vocal harmony. :)
More and more admiration for this artist. One of a kind and quickly becoming the best loop artist ever. Slick production and her tune is truly an anthem
just plain beautiful all the way through...
this needs to go viral like the Ebola outbreak!
All I gotta say is WOWWWW! What an amazing song!
Wow! Made me cry it was so good. Incredible.
How am I just now discovering you? I saw your kickstarter for Eve yesterday and have been listening to/watching all your content since. You are extremely talented! I look forward to Eve!
I don't understand how this only has 140k views. Deserves much more
"Things like religion only exist because we need them to." So true! In tough times religion provides meaning, hope, something to blame, a feeling of support. All the things humans need to push through bad situations. I'm not religious but I understand why people are. Very powerful last line.
I agree; however, I think her message is to find strength in yourself, that WE--each one of us--controls our individual and collective destiny. The words make it clear. (Naturally, this is just my interpretation, not yours or hers, so I won't be offended if you disagree.):
"To things like hunger and poverty - only exist because we never give" - many pray for the end of world hunger and poverty, but when did BILLIONS of prayers put even a grain of rice into the belly of a starving child?
"Running in circles can't be easy. You've got that white flag so high before you even try" - many believe "I am just one and too small to make a difference", "it's in The Lord's hands", that "The Lord will find a way", that "The Lord works in mysterious ways"; therefore, many feel powerless and accept their fellow man as not being their responsibility.
"I believe in you. You are the answer. You are the truth. So what are you gonna do?" - She believes in the power of people, that we are the solution to our (world's) problems, WE are the truth--we are what's real, and we should have faith in ourselves rather than fabricated truths. Unveiling the truth, that it is all in our control and up to us, she presents the challenge... "So what are you gonna do?"
There's more, but this post is already too long. :D You can read and interpret more here: kawehi.bandcamp.com/track/anthem.
BigMTBrain "when did BILLIONS of prayers put even a grain of rice into the belly of a starving child?"
You might be surprised. Ever read the story of George Mueller? That's just one example...there are thousands more...here, read this. Prayer changes things:
www.christianity.com/church/church-history/church-history-for-kids/george-mueller-orphanages-built-by-prayer-11634869.html
Oh, great, if it's that simple, you need to hurry and tell all the folks who are in threat of being raped and murdered by IS(IS) in the middle east that all they have to do is pray the right way and sincerely believe and surely they will be saved. Likewise, for the other MILLIONS of starving children around the world. You need to go there, teach those children and their parents how to properly pray and sincerely believe so that their daily hunger can be a thing of the past. Who needs charities to collect money and food when the power of prayer is so much a better and less costly solution? Please hurry, dabull136! For every second you delay, your very action of delaying spreading the word puts many souls at risk. Hurry, dabull136, HURRY!!!!
Love this one in all respects, the tune, lyrics, video concept, all off the charts :)
There's a strange frame at 5:47 with the cloned pictures without the boxes ^^ But really great work! I can see how much fun you had making this video
Can't believe I only found out about you yesterday (2020) Love your vibe, your style, your soulful vox, and crazy musicality
I could seriously watch this all day.
This should be a world wide hit
I am always amazed at the talent of people. I love how so many are using technology to produce such a diverse range of entertainment. Kawehi, I am showing my students your video as an example of, not only your creativity, but also your obvious planning, hard work, and dedication. This is a great example of how my students can plan to achieve a goal.
And...your talent is undeniable! All the best. I'm off to buy your album from BandCamp.
This is why they invetnted CGI! LOVE IT!
I freaked out at first at 5:46 .. then went back like 3 times to check that if I was going insane or not (that is really trippy)! LOL
Don't know why I haven't seen this one before today.....I had to watch it three time and was still sad that it came to an end....dang-it......I loved it......
PS:
I wish I was a wealthy producer........if only.....
I have continued to watch and listen to your music for several years now and I probably will until the day I die many many years from now as long as they don't remove your content from the internet. The gimmick of you is like "Oh Hey, this young lady is very cute, let's listen." That's the draw in, but in the end observation of you is an all around beautiful part of the world. You are the rare beauty of the world that peers out of this world that is vastly populated with human pollution that has become self centered. Your compositions along with your videos leading to the results you end with are beautiful and you my friend are your own frequency in the world. Thank you for your amazing work and reminding me of the little things to enjoy in life. *bows* Good fortune to you Kawehi.
LOVE IT........LOVE IT......LOVE IT.....LOVE IT........LOVE IT......LOVE IT......LOVE IT.......LOVE IT......LOVE IT.........GOD BLESS U...........
I'm speechless! I 'be watch this 4 times in a row
still loving this song three years after i first listened (and commented).....
2018 (nearly 2019)!!
This song keeps me going. Day after day
I am loving this so much!
Did anyone else notice how she's mistakenly swapped two of the tracks/boxes?
Love what you do Kawehi. A unique blend of creativity, technology, talent, and intelligence provides a beautiful experience. Thank you.
What a great, beautiful song, and what a stunningly creative video. This is audio and visual delight. Such talent!
This is the best thing to ever happen in the Internet
kawehi I never quite know what to expect from you. this is crazy in the best way dude
I've been here smiling like an idiot watching your videos for well over an hour.
I believe in you , Kawehi ! ♥ Extraordinary feelings from this ! So creative ! ♥ Best for you Kawehi ! ♥
Why does this video version sound better than the one on the record? Keep it up young lady!
As a very amateur looper I can only say you are destined to be the 1st true superstar of looping, very inspiring.
Wow that was incredible. So much better than anything on the radio right now.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. It inspires me to this day to keep working on my music
i cant describe how amazing this music video was. i never heard any of your music before today. my cousin linked me this video and now you have a fan for life! please keep it up.
I was hearing heart shaped box and wishing you did shelf in the room. Then I heard this.
Oki, so, on her soundcloud/album. It jumps straight into the background vocals. I feel like this song is so much better with the setup at the beginning. It paces a bit better to me.
TOTALLY
FUCKING
BRILLIANT
WHY can't I "like" this more than once. Sigh...soooo good. I keep coming back.
Kawehi, your talent is mesmerizing, your voice is spellbinding, and this video is pure genius !!!
This should be running Primetime on MTV !!
The only thing left to say is "WAWAWAWA ... OOHHHAAHHH" !!
Great Video Idea. Push button loops with GIF's!
Kawehi is way under rated. She has an amazing amount of talent! Not only in this song and video. But also in several other songs she did!
In my mind, Kawehi and George Barnet make a feat song that storms the world.
Every once in awhile RUclips sends you on an artistic journey of discovery. Today it led me to Kawehi. Thank you. Keep making beautiful art. You are an example of what one person can create with a vision and talent.
OMG ssoooo creative, you know this took some time to complete, props girl, great job!! :)
Not to be a hater but I really don't think this sort of video takes that long to complete, it's just a really awesome concept and video.
***** well, depends on what you think is "long to complete"...
dont want to disagree with you or something, but what kind of video (were talking about music tho ;) ) are taking long?
in my opinion, the only music video i can think of, that might took longer to make are the videos from "paint- disney parody" ...
Mathias Leimer Well the main part of the video is a one take and inside the boxes are short loops. Putting everything together, syncing it up with the audio and probably some color corrections.
So I'd say the amount of time it takes to make this is nothing compared to how awesome the end product came out to be.
This is beauty, in the form of a RUclips video.
Just love that passion of yours your bring such life to each song you create. Now that's talent, innovation, creation and so much more...Don't ever stop!
I just noticed, i haven't 'liked' this video 6 years ago. Fixed it now. A really good song!
it took me SO LONG to isolate that ONE FRAME at 5:46 where you were holding the bassbox again but all six of the box faces were still up XD I was hoping it was an easter egg or some secret message... ah well ^^ still neat.
Cool! thanks for the showing the Easter Egg.
I found a quick way to do it.. go to the settings.. change the speed to .25... then put the video on pause .. move the clip slide to 5:46.. then press pause on and off fast until it pops up.. Do not click to fast because you will skip it
Looks like a mistake by the editor to me rather than an easter egg, but aside from that nice edit work though.
november 2018... I still think this is amazing song!
Amazing how much your inspiration back when you made this resonates all the more in 2020. So happy I found you and happy to be able to participate in your continued journey via Patreon.
Man just when I thought she couldn't get cooler she drops atheist bomb..a sub for you....
Bummed I'm gonna miss your show in Portland. But the desert is calling me off yo burning man. Have fun in Portland
You knock my socks off... & I'm not even wearing any!

Why am I just now finding out about this incredibly talented musician?

So talented, never sell out. Original and uplifting
I love this video so much. It's a little ray of sunshine on my life.
The creativity in this video is phenomenal!
It started off with heart shaped box for me.. an awesome cover & an awesome video. Since then, what can I say, I fall in love with her all over again, everytime, without fail. As for this video - Kawehi, you're bloody brilliant! Looking forward to the next quarantine session 🍻
FYI. Here in Malaysia, my friends know you as "future Mrs Jay" 🤣🤣😝
