Kina Grannis

This week artist is a talented singer song writer named Kina Grannis. She began exploring music as a child in Mission Viejo, CA.  Kina attended he University of Southern California, where she was selected by the Thornton School of Music to produce a six-song EP during her sophomore year. Two years later, she recorded a song for Rachael Lawrence and Deborah Ellen that became heavily featured in several episodes of General Hospital. After graduating from USC, Grannis relocated to Austin, TX, to sing and record with a band. She also began uploading her performances to YouTube, which helped her win a Superbowl contest in 2008. A contract with Interscope Records followed. She quickly went back to her indie root because she was not happy with the direction they were taking her career in. So she self released her first full-length album, Stairwells, in February 2010,which cracked the Billboard 200. The song "In Your Arm" is what grab my attention of this singer song writer. So take a listen and tell me what you think.
