A bit about why I started KG Records
I think music is a magical thing. It has comforted and healed and inspired me throughout my life, and that is what I hope to do for others with the music I create. I want to connect with people and help them feel less alone (and I want them to help me feel less alone, too!). I want to bring hope and happiness to peoples lives. I want to help people feel. If this is something you believe in, something that feels important to you in some way, then this is the place where you get to be a part of all of that.
During my last 10 or so years of being a full-time musician I have learned time and time again that the only thing I needed was my listeners. You. Some of you have been with me since the Crash The Super Bowl days, when I won a major label contract, entirely because of YOU. Some of you have been with me since I left said label, started a street team, and went independent, because I had YOU. I have toured, recorded albums, made hundreds of videos… all because of YOU. In recent years, through the support of individual patrons, I began getting paid for the videos I was putting out into the world for the first time in history. You, You, You.
YOU are the ones that believe in me and my music, the ones that support the creation of my music, the ones that allow me to do what I love everyday, the ones that give me purpose and joy, knowing that there are humans listening on the other side of all of this, and as such, YOU deserve the credit. And that's why I've decided that from now on, my patrons = my label. You, my listeners, my fans, my Kinerds, will be my actual label. But it's so much more than that, too. KG Records is my community, my family, my people, my support network.
Quick, and very important aside, though: You are all equally important to me when it comes to my music. My music has purpose because you LISTEN. Because I get to connect with real live humans out there in the world. So if supporting me in this way is not possible or appealing to you, that's fine! My videos will always be available to you for free, my songs will always be released in all the usual places. (And if you can't afford to buy my music, steal it. Seriously.) My ultimate goal has always been to make the best music I can and to share it with as many people as possible.
Thank you for believing in me and my music. Thank you for making my art possible. Thank you for being my online family, my support team, my beloved Kinerds, and now, my label. Let's go make magic together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wait, so how do I join KG Records?
You join by becoming a Patron right here on this page!
Do I have any responsibilities if I join? What if I don't want to do anything but support?
You can be as involved or not involved as you wish! You can be a silent supporter within KG Records and just sit quietly knowing you're doing an awesome thing, or you can dive into the community, get to know everyone, throw out suggestions, etc. Completely up to you!
So, I see my pledge is "per thing". What does that mean, and how many times a month will there be a new one?
A "thing" could be a new video, an unreleased song demo, an online concert. What "things" are might morph over time, but I will always involve you in this process to make sure you're on board! I never post more than two things a month.
What if I only want to support 1 thing a month?
Easy! When you're checking out, select "Set a monthly max". There you can specify that you'd like to limit it to 1 thing a month.
Can I stop donating in the future if I can't afford it?
Yes of course! You can cancel or adjust your pledge amount for any reason at any time.
What if I want to support more than the highest tier?
WHAT. Well, er, um, if you'd like to do that, you can simply write in whatever amount pleases you during the check out process. And then maybe I pass out or something.
Do I have to pay in US Dollars?
Nope! Everything is shown in US dollars on the website, but you may use any currency and it will be automatically converted.
Why the animals?
Why NOT the animals? (I like animals, I like you, it makes me happy.)

Hi Kina, Would you please sing All about the heart by Mindy Gledhill. Your voice is perfect for this song.
Finally became a patron! Would love a throwback cover of "Safe and Sound" by TS and would be great to hear your take on Everything by Britney!
Thom Chen
Would you sing Names and Races by The Foreign Fields?
Strong Enough, always.
Would love to hear Too Soon and Genevieve!
Glad to have you onboard!
I would love to see you do Helplessly Hoping by CSN...a perfect song for you IMO
Stay just a little
Edgar Giovanni Pinto Peredo

Hey everybody! I don't know why it took me so long to finally do this, but I made it! I would love if you could do Cambridge. It's my favorite song of yours and it's really meaningful to me.
Sadly, I won't be able to join this time :( but for song request... something totally different, yet I firmly believe you and (likely, hehehe) special not-so-secret (?) guest Jesse will easily and lovingly perform (a short, maybe not the whole?) "A Whole New World" since you ended your entry here with "It's going to be a whole new world :)"
its now my 2nd online concert and id love to hear a acoustic gangstas paradise i absolutley love your version of the song with its beat. And Kishi Bashi the melody and words are beautiful. thankyou all your music both covers and your own album releases to me are up top with another favourite of mine jewel kilcher.
