New Video and January Hangout!
🕑 Added 2020-01-15 21:51:34 +0000 UTCHelloooooo.
It's 2020! Hi! Kicking off the year with a cover of Damien Rice's "Cannonball" :) Hope you enjoy it. Side note--for any Damien fans out there, have you seen my "Volcano" cover from back in the day? I was feeling nostalgic and looked it up... and that video is TWELVE YEARS OLD. I'm always a bit mortified all my old stuff still exists on the internet, but for some reason it feels wrong to erase the journey. If you wanna see baby Kina sing "Volcano", you can do so here.
In other news, we've got our January Coffee Date hangout coming up in 2 weeks! (Wed, January 29th at 12pm PST) Here's the private hangout link. Feel free to head over, RSVP, start posting questions, etc.
In other other news, I wrote a new song, and have started tracking it, and am generally starting to feel like these new songs need to be out in the world already! I've been slowly chipping away at the mental walls I have around working on the new songs. It's hard not to feel precious about them, hard not to worry they won't be well-received, or that they're just not good at all, but I'm trying to remind myself that my job is just to let them find me, put as much love into them as I can, and then give them to you. Not much else I can do. So hopefully I'll be making more progress there soon :)
Feel free to click through on this post and give us a little hello in the comments :) Any goals/intentions for the new year? I want to hear! As for me--I'm doubling down on daily meditation again, walking more, reading more, trying to be more cognizant of the unhelpful stories my brain tries to write (and subsequently trying to let them go), and of course wanting to get new music out into the world this year! Would love to hear where you all are at and what you're hoping for/who you want to be this year :)
Hope this year is off to a wonderful start for all of you. Sending immense amounts of love and gratitude!!

The cover is so good! Thanks for all the beautiful content
Hi Kina! Been a fan for years, found you through Nataly, new Patron! Question for you (or others who happen to be reading this and know): do you put up mp3s for any of the tunes? For example, I love this cover, he’s a great songwriter, and your voice makes me just..it’s velvet! But I can’t always stream. How do YOU guys listen repeatedly to Kina?
Happy New Year! And Happy Chinese New Year! Been away, busy with RL, but now getting caught up, Continued success Kina, Aloha from a fan for life! Aloha!!
Happy New Year! Looking forward to the next hang out. The most recent concert was so fantastic. I'm looking forward to writing more this year, being physically active and dancing more.
So great that you picked this song, it reminded me of good memories back in the day. Goals: to be better at my work, finish a book and to be more physically fit :D
Looking forward to more great Kina Music! Current 2020 goals include planning what job life is going to look like as i transition out of the military, grind harder on my voice acting craft and grow that into a possibly income earning thing of awesomeness, and really focus on my relationship to get closer and more in sync with my wife! Can't wait for the coffee hangout!
Another Kina cover on repeat. ❤
Beautiful cover. Don't you dare delete your old stuff. While you may be critical of it, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we love it just as much as when you first shared it. You may have grown, but those videos haven't lost their magic over time. :) 2020 is starting out well. This weekend I'm performing in West Side Story alongside Tony Award winner Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel in RENT). My goal this year is to stop being miserable and find a new job. In doing so, I'll be able to get back my social life, artistic life, and health (and so much more).
My goal is to shake away aaall the fear my brain is constantly creating and above all I want to be a happy, full functioning human being. Having you and this community always helps :)
hey we think you're great too Beautiful cover of a song I'd forgotten I loved back in the days I watched The O.C. and listened to the soundtrack on repeat. Your interpretation especially tugs at my heartstrings <3 Happy 2020! Mine is starting off half awesome half rough so it balances out? I want to be more present as well, get better at running and cooking, and in general achieve my career/hobby goals without burning myself out :)
I didn’t even know I knew this song, but I do! That’s a great song, which is actually perfect, in my opinion, for you to sing! As for plans and goals for this new year, I will go back to uni to study a Master in Interpretation, finally, which is what I would love to do, and I will quit my job, since I don’t particularly enjoy it. Hope you’re okay, say hi to Jesse and kisses to both of you! xx
