Kawehi (Tom) Wight

Kawehi is a cute and very talented musician from Hawaii who is brought to you courtesy of Wingsfan19. Great choice!

Kawehi specializes in creating music using loops and it’s really pretty awesome—you can find her write up on her Sound Cloud page:

With a voice uniquely her own, Hawaiian singer-songwriter Kawehi draws you in with her catchy hooks and honest lyric. Manned by a Guitar, ‘Ukulele and Boss RC-30 Looping Station, she’s a “one-man band” creating intricate loops via beatboxing and creative guitar usage. Since taking a GIANT leap to L.A. from her home in Hawai’i, she has been featured in Music Connection Magazine’s “Hot 100 Unsigned Artists & Bands” in 2011. Her videos have been featured on CBS News Most Viral Videos, Vimeo, Booooooom! and Sony Music.

Check out some of her videos, including a pretty awesome clip for Anthem below.

Thanks Wings!

    How odd you posted this. I was watching her Heart Shaped Box earlier today. Cute and talented.

    Thank you Luke for featuring Kawehi. I find her so uniquely talented that I would enjoy her performances even if she wasn’t Asian and adorable. The fact that she is both Asian and adorable just adds to the attraction, of course.

    You all should check out her version of “Come See About Me” by The Supremes – it is an excellent example of covering a song while making it your own (and not ruining the song in the process). Kinda like Hendrix with “All Along the Watchtower” for all of us classic rock lovers.
