We are publishing this floor not because Kina Grannis has a grand voice . Or because she is good composer . Not even because she is beautiful and aphrodisiacal and has a consort to twin . Heck , we are not even doing it because of the song she has dedicate to Digg user , which is in reality a really estimable one . We are publish this story because a ) we love her attitude , b ) we want her to win theDoritos Crash the Super Bowl competition , c ) her grin is an early Xmas present to all of us , dorks of the Intarwebs and d ) all of the above . Judge by yourself wait at her Got ta Digg video recording after the jump :
( UPDATE : We have interviewed Kina after the jump )
Jesus Díaz : Hey Kina ! Great study on that song . I love it , and I make out the rest of your stuff .
Kina Grannis : Hey Jesus ! I am so so flattered that the people at Gizmodo want to help me out !
JD : How long have you been compose ( I assume you do your own songs ) and sing ?
KG : I first got serious about songwriting and write when i was 16 and part teach myself guitar . So that was about 6 twelvemonth ago , now . As a nipper though my favorite affair to do was just pose around and make up songs and messiness around on the piano . However , my first songs when I was 5 , admittedly , were not the most impressive Song ever . ( “ oh the hummingbird , ” “ teeny bear goes sailing in the lake ” to name a few ) . As far as singing go , though I never did choir ( I was a violinist ) , it ’s just something I ’ve done my whole lifetime because it feels so good .
JD : Who is your inspiration ?
KG : I detect stirring in many thing and many people , I do n’t call back I could ever pick just one . My parents and both my two sisters are all super gifted and creative in their own right , and I think just having grow up with so much creative energy and determination around me has really determine me . In addition to my family , I do n’t think there is one friend I have that I could n’t draw some inhalation from . People in general astonish me .
JD : And your preferent artist ?
KG : I grow up with a lot of James Taylor , and as a result my favorite artist tend to accentuate beautiful vocals , awesome melodies and * unremarkably * an acoustic feel . Some large unity for me are Iron and Wine , Sarah McLachlan , Jason Mraz , Fiona Apple , Sigur Ros , Feist , Jump Little Children , K ’s Choice , The Weepies , Regina Spektot , Sufjan Stevens … I should stop before I satisfy up the Thomas Nelson Page . I be given to have an grasp for most form of medicine , but the one ’s I get stuck on are the ones that kill me with their voices .
JD : Sweet . upright fate with the contest . All of us at Giz are behind you . And merry Xmas !
KG : Merry Xmas to all of you at Gizmodo and also to all your referee . Thanks for everything !
