Hey Patrons!
This video is thanks to my Executive Level Patrons! Thanks to all of you who helped me decide to 1. make another tutorial and 2. do it for "Little Worrier".
I apologize in advance, my teaching skills are a little rusty and I may have taught it in a very weird way. BUT--I bel...

Hey beloved Patrons!
Here's "Sorry", one of the bonus tracks from Elements. Lately this song has been a favorite of mine to sing, so I've been wanting to make a video of it for some time! If you haven't read my blog post about this song (plus a little guide to conflict resolution), you can check that out here:...

Here's something a little different for you all today! I got to work with the lovely folks at I Love Makeup to do a little time travel. They took me through 4 decades of style, decor and makeup. Get ready for some very strange versions of me! Haha. Enjoy and happy Monday, everyone :)

Hey Patreon Fam :) Got something a little different for you all this week. I was really moved by this song--it got me thinking a lot about loss and the people I love. I shot the video right after I finished arranging and recording all the vocals on the track when I was really caught up in all my feelings. Wasn't planning on sho...

Hi Patrons :) There's been a bit of confusion regarding hitting (and unhitting) my 3rd milestone lately so I just wanted to clear it up. Basically what happened is that a very generous patron decided to boost me up for a month (which was awesome of said patron), however, when the pledge was adjusted back down, the milestone was...

This last year of touring has been one of the most memorable, fun, and amazing experiences in my life. You guys have gotten to see me on stage, but now I want to share with you a bit of what goes on off stage. Hope you enjoy this little glimpse into my world :)
2015-05-11 23:45:32 +0000 UTC View PostHello beloved Patrons! As I've mentioned before, I'm still figuring Patreon out--finding the ways it works and doesn't work for myself, as well as the ways it works and doesn't work for all of you. My ultimate goal is for all of us to feel happy and good about all things Patreon! I'm made a couple small adjustments to get us ...

Hello! I'm so excited to share the official music video for "Forever On Your Side"--my song with Jesse (Imaginary Future) from his new album. We had a lot of fun adventuring through nature on this one :) Enjoy and happy Monday! Kina

“Home” is one of the bonus tracks on my album Elements. (You can find it on iTunes here.) To formally introduce you two, here’s an audio stream of the song for you to listen to, as well as a little explanation of what the lyrics mean to me. My childhood was pretty wonderful. So wonderful, in fact, that often when I reflec...

Normally this would have really stressed me out, but lately I’ve had this little idea brewing, and in a weird way my inabili...

Hello friends! Welcome to my ramblings. I just wanted to share a bit about what this song and video mean to me. Before I start, though, I want to talk a little bit about my thoughts on song meanings in general. Of course, every song begins with some original meaning for the songwriter--that first idea that sparked it into exis...
