One of my favorite up-and-coming musicians is Kina Grannis. I first heard about her when she entered the Doritos Crash The Super Bowl commercial contest a couple of years ago. Although I prefer her original, "Message From Your Heart," the video that aired that Super Bowl Sunday must have spoken to people, because she won.
Kina's album, Stairwells, is available for pre-order today. But you can also check out her video, "Valentine," here. Just a little pre-Feb. 14 cheer to share. I love the simplicity of the video, especially paired with a sort of domino-meets-flip-book animation scheme. It's the perfect sweet treat to brighten your Monday.
I admire how tenacious Kina has been regarding her musical career. She obviously loves music very much, using it to connect with her sisters, who regularly sing on her videos, as well as a means of connecting with viewers on her blog and youtube channel. In this age of consistent consumption, it's refreshing to find someone generating and utilizing their creative gifts to spread positive energy into the world.
Congrats, Kina! All the best right back at you.
