Kawehi

KAWEHI IN CONCERT:Hawaiian singer-songwriter Kawehi became a viral sensation in 2014 when a video of her covering Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" became so popular that even Courtney Love gave it a thumbs up. The widely shared clip featured Kawehi with her signature setup -- a looping station, a midi keyboard, and her soulful voice -- and showed her building the song piece by piece by combining skillful beatboxing, hummed backing tracks, and her powerful vocals. It's a formula she recreates to fantastic effect at her one-woman live shows, where she performs her own songs and covers with the energy and virtuosity of a full band. Whether she's treating ticket buyers to a seamless mashup of Gotye and Britney Spears or playing lush originals like "Anthem", Kawehi always impresses with her gorgeous voice, unfiltered lyrics, and creative arrangements.
