- Someone recently questioned if I should be headlining my own tour. This last tour was rough - some cities I did great, some cities I didn’t. In hindsight, I would’ve listened to my gut and waited until 2022 when were all comfortable/safe enough to party together in one sweaty, musical pizza party 🍕.
Coming home, I had serious thoughts about quitting. Never playing out live again. Ever. I was heartbroken and depressed. I have never questioned doing what I love for a living. But this time…I did. The lows were REALLY low, and paired with my stage fright/exhaustion/pandemic I was DONE. I thought….maybe I’m just not good at this?
And then this past weekend, I decided to go busking for the first time in almost a decade. I only played one song. I told myself I wanted to try the new portable battery out in the wild, and make a new youtube video - but really, I think deep down I wanted to see if I had it in me to get out there again, play in front of people and….ENJOY it, you know? And something amazing happened - I had FUN. I was sweaty, but I was SMILING. I still wanted to barf, but I was LIVING. I made $4, then spent that $4 on a shot of jameson 🎉💃🏻. I just had fun doing what I love for the first time in a LOOONG time.

“This is going to be rough” *proceeds to deliver the most flawless cover of this song on the Internet doing all the sampling in real time*
You are insanely talented. Please keep doing this.
It's the Dunning-Kruger effect. Those who are least competent believe themselves competent at everything, while the most competent-like this insanely talented person here-feel like it must be this easy for everyone, and underestimate their own ability. Whether she knows it or not, she MURDERED this song.
@@baconeggsandwich Pete Steele of Type O Negative said it better, 'don't mistake lack of talent for genius'
Imagine hearing this amazing cover and just walking past....shake my damn head
My thoughts exactly. How could you walk by that? So talented!!
Yeah, I don't understand it, but there is no understanding insanity. I get if someone has priorities, but I'm unconvinced that that many don't have time to stop and smell the flowers... or teen spirit. :P
That's never a surprise. LOTS of people out there with LOTS of different interests. Also, this is interruptive entertainment. No one is going out to see her, so if some are randomly interested, hell, that's a bonus.
I wouldn't be able to keep walking. I would be guided like bugs with the scent trail,....except by a music trail in this case. This girl deserves some props for sure.
you would not. coz its not live. Its unfortunately pre-recorded :(
Can't understand the people who just carry on unimpressed. It's a sad time for art.
I feel sorry for the people that walked by without stopping to enjoy a memorable moment.
My wife and I just saw you at Baby's All Right in New York. Before the show I came up to you and said, "My wife and I--" and I pointed to her, and you immediately rushed across the room to meet her. You have class, soul, and more talent than you can use in one lifetime. Even though right now you're only playing to a few people at a time, you're affecting hundreds of thousands. You have a gift. Enjoy it in whatever way makes you happiest.
Well said Bob. She's a very talented person and I hope she continues to make whatever impact on the world that she so chooses.
Agreed. That inviting soul comes from the Aloha Spirit we Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian people) are raised with. We are taught from a very young age that the other person comes first before ourselves.
Living with Aloha means that we always take care of the other person first. In that way, we never have to worry about taking care of ourselves because the other person is taking care of us.
If the people of this world could ALL live with Aloha, just imagine what this world would be.
And with that in mind, i dare you to Live With Aloha and see where that gets you.
No laila e noho me ke Aloha, e mālama i kekahi i kekahi, e aloha kekahi i kekahi i kēlā me kēia lā a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia ao. Aloha mākou iā ʻoe Kawehi a haʻaheo mākou Aloha mākou iā ʻoe e ko mākou kaikuahine!
Old dude here that grew up on NIN in the 90s...and I'm so happy that Trent's music is continuing to reach new audiences and this cover is an absolutely amazing way to share that catalog!
🥰🙏🇵🇷
LOL I was already grown up in the 90s please don't call yourself old.
Do you people get off on acting like this? @@davidkidd7319
Right??? I still have my concert tshirts!!
There really is something special to busking. There’s nothing like setting up on a street corner where nothing is going on and essentially turning it into a show. Changes the whole vibe of the area in a matter of about 10 minutes.
Doesnt busking involve having a tip jar? Hah this girl got out of an audi and set her macbook on the sidewalk. Awesome performance nonetheless
@@j03y__ if you wanna get into semantics, I personally think that’s a waste of time, because you know exactly what I’m saying.
She changes the vibes in a heartbeat. There isn't anyone on the planet busking this awsum
@@Overton_Windows what are you saying Ryan Ranger
I love buskers in my town. They add so much to the community
I, honestly, don't understand how someone with your immense talent could ever feel self doubt. YOU ARE AMAZING!
I know a guy who just discontinued his AMAZING podcast because of this very reason. He's like an audio engineering wizard, and his show was hilarious, but he didn't feel like it was good enough I guess. Thankfully, I've tapped him for a few future projects, so his skill and talent won't be going unutilized. I just hope what I have in mind is good enough for HIM, because honestly, he entirely outclasses me in that regard.
@@gamingwithtommikeIt's called imposter syndrome. Truly it's the most genuinely talented who suffer the most from it.
I was so psyched to see this pop up in my feed. Your cover of NIN's Closer was actually how I discovered this channel about 2 years ago, so it took me back :) Great as always!
I know right
Me too🙌🏼!!
Samee
Ditto! She's insane talented
Totally!
I would have lost it if i heard someone doing NIN in the street just as i was walking by. So insane. Anything by Reznor is always my fave covers instantly.. They just give me that extra boost. 😍😍😍😍
me too!
The guy that rode up on the bike couldn't keep the grin off his face. I wouldn't be able to, either. This is amazing.
I don't think there is a better cover. More of this. Please!
As a NIN lover this is one the most incredible cover i've seen in a while. Keep it up!
did you already enjoy the head like a hole cover by eternal frequency? If not you should give it a shot
totally agreed.
From one artist to another, I understand the anxiety, depression, and awful battles of self-doubt. The consensus amongst the rest of my fellow writer friends was that the pandemic deeply effected our ability to create. Try not to be too hard on yourself this has been a rough couple of years for creatives everywhere across all the genres.
I don't want to invalidate your feelings, but as an outsider to your personal experience I have to say that you are so incredibly talented. I was so glad I stumbled upon your youtube page and your music. Your wonderful gifts and impressive talents have gotten me through some dark times, especially, these last couple of years.
Take a break if needed but I implore you to not give up. What you do is far too amazing not to share with those around you.
I'm right there with these two...you can do it, This is the first time seeing this video and Loved it...You are a hero to not let Anxiety win! This inspires me ;)
being down always tremendously increased my output, not the other way around... i can only create when depressed.... when you're satisfied what's going to pour out?... nothing
You've got guts. Keep going 💪
This was absolutely insane! A whole band may not be this precise and you did it all, sampling in real time holy shiiittt
Trent: Will you bite the hand that feeds? Will you chew until it bleeds?
Kawehi: But I like pizza!
I love your Nine Inch Nails performances💜🖤💜
been waiting for another NIN cover i love this
very much here for that guitar's comeback
The joy of nailing it far outweighs the misery of a crap performance. And you nailed this!
Everything about her is so sweet and nice! And her talent is amazing!!
Great cover! Your own interpretation of NIN always rocks, would love to see/hear more ♥️
I second the motion"
You are ALWAYS great! Don't doubt yourself! I love the energy and passion that you have for music - both your covers and your originals. Rock on!
Another underrated channel... Love this song and Cover... AWESOME!!!👏
YOU....young lady EFFING ROCK!!!!!!! MASSIVE MASSIVE TALENT!!!!!
Had I been "Bike Man", I would have been so pumped after hearing this, I'd be able to cycle into another dimension. Also really enjoyed the Back to the Future cameo towards the end. Dope cover, thanks so much.
He should have cycled into another dimension instead of right through the middle of her shot/setup. Him and the skateboarder cut behind her one after another and you can see her make the WTF face. I know it well.
@@Dadjokes4U …Bike to the Future 😜
That was about 100 times better than I imagined it was gonna be! Nice use of looping.. Also fluffy hat and pink guitar for a song espousing revolution is genius! Loved it
I never want you to quit. I've enjoyed your music for years. I still listen to your cover of Heart Shaped Box.
OMG!! This is super awesome coooooool!!!! Sitting and shaking my head like I'm at a concert 🤘😎
Dig the shit out of this one! Me and my wife still remember fondly seeing you and having a great time in that junkyard in salt lake city! Was a great experience and you and yours was just lovely! Hope to see you again!
Not the first NIN cover shes made me add to playlists- keep kicking ass.
I'm happy to see you're still playing. This was awesome.
First off, never be nervous. You're doing what you love, and people love it as well. You're so good, keep doing great shit!
I’ve seen nine inch nails live quite a few times and yet, this is the most successful performance of The Hand That Feeds that I’ve ever seen. Well done!!
I am impressed at the quality of tone for a street performance. It's really nice, and the playing is very clean.
Been following this channel for 10 years. Love your work!
I'm in tears. Still such a relevant and important song in these times, and so masterfully covered.
I'm in awe of your talent. Seriously. The last two years have been tough. I'm not an artist but I can imagine and empathize with the self doubt and the lows. I can tell you from a fan's perspective that I enjoy the hell out of your music and I think you're great. For what it's worth.
Yeah she can sing, she looks like a model....that's not unique or special enough these days, so do millions of other young girls all over the world. What else does she have???
@@Mexxx65 So you can post an opinion like millions of others all over the world. What else do you have???
@@Mexxx65 If you paid attention to the video or watched any of her other videos you would know the answer to this. She does covers and sings her own original music. She uses a looper in cool and creative ways. There's no reason to be so dismissive.
@@Mexxx65 listen to what she can do , she can fuckin jam
@@stefyroxanne7567 This girl has chosen a profession career, entertainment, where every minute detail of her performances will be judged and critiqued, by millions all over the world. Her business is an extremely competitive business these days. Especially in an era, of "throw away music".
My credentials mean little in regards to a youtube comment, like everyone else here. I have been in the music industry for over 40 years, and been a music teacher for 30 years. I feel confident I know talent when I see it. Oh what do you have?
You probably hear this every single day, but you are incredible!!! So damn fantastic and awesome at what you do!!!! 😀😀😀
You had me in 2015 when I saw you cover closer and this is the bee's knees! Congratulations on a fantastic NIN cover yet again.
Never regret performing, with a crowd or alone, good or bad the time in actual performance is priceless.
Smashed it. WOWIE. Probably one of the most incredible street performances of 2021. Let's Go!!!!!
P.S. I love that it didn't take you 2 minutes to build the song up. You just went for it right off the bat.. Well done.
Clearly a labor of love. The first time I’ve ever wished I was in Kansas. One musician to another,I am so grateful for your arrangements and delivery. Please keep doing what you do.
There are worse places to visit than Lawrence. Incredibly talented people living there (as seen here) along with an appreciative audience for new and experimental sounds (despite what you might gather from all the walk-bys here). And since it’s near both I-70 and I-35, it’s a must-stop town for bands touring the country. I saw so many great shows there as a student at amazing and intimate venues. Didn’t know how lucky I was until I moved away.
@@AdamKuban hell yeah. Liberty Hall, Grenada, The Bottleneck...... Nothing beats seeing a live show at one of these places.
This song is more relevant than ever and you did it justice, baby! So glad you had fun. I mean...what's the point otherwise? Instant fan.
What a crime ..cant believe how good your cover is with hardly anybody there to see it live ..this and your Bjork covers are simply fantastic
Says it is going to be rough ……..nails it …. Nine inch nails it lol absolutely slays it. That was awesome!!
That was awesome. I hope you don't quit making music. I feel into a depression about 14 years ago and quit making music. I haven't been able to get back into it no matter how much I try. It's like a piece of my soul is gone and I can't get it back. Trust me when I say this. Hold on to that part of your soul for as long as you can.
This is trully a breath of fresh air! So glad to see a new upload from you! I'm a fan :)
That was fucken amazing. I need more of this in my life!!
So, I was in a band when this song came out, and being a big fan of NIN got my band to play it, and I sang it. Not a lead singer myself, I'm not sure we did it justice but it was so fun to play. Coincidently, my bandmate was from Lawrence, KS, and we traveled there for a show once. I've made my living as a soundguy ever since working with all sorts of talented musicians. I want you to know, you truly are an amazing artist. I thoroughly enjoy all your work. I excitedly look forward to seeing you perform, and hopefully working with you directly one day! Keep up the fantastic work.
I'm no artist and wouldn't know the first thing about stage fright and such. But all I can say is that I love your work and still listen regularly to the wood-encased USB stick "I am Kawehi" you sold online. I also have the metal one. They're cool to look at but they're of course course amazing to listen to. You're awesome and brave. Can't tell you what to do, and if you feel like this isn't for you anymore you're the only who can make that call. But we are thousands and thousands of people listening to your music and loving it. Thank you for your music. And a big virtual hug from France !
This cover is literally better than the original. I enjoy it so much. Thank you.
Ive been loving you guys for a while now online...
I keep coming back to this cover
honestly, i skipped everything in the beginning to get to the song, because i remember how much i loved hearing your NIN and heartshaped box from back when i was in highschool and i was love this cover as much as i love all your others... i then went to go read the comments and then read the video description, and then rewatched the whole video from start to finish and teared up :3. i just want you to know how much I and so many others enjoy your art. it's brought me a lot of joy and honestly inspiration to play with loop pedals n stuff. I love this channel and your art :3
I am a fan of NIN living in Japan!
I was impressed by your wonderful cover.
Wow never knew there were japanese fans out there. 👌
I am French, but I remember way back in 2007 I went to see NIN in a tiny concert hall in Osaka (twas about 2000 people and that's it) and it was a really great gig! Very intimate! I was impressed by the devotion and enthusiasm of Japanese fans, knowing the lyrics of the new album by heart!!
@@starfuckerification They are popular with Japanese music lovers!I watched live shows in Japan several times and it was cool!
I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR PLAYING ONE OF MY ALL TIME TOP SONGS ON GUITAR, YOU ROCK !!!
Wow. What a big sound & great energy ! You killed it ! Thank you
So glad this popped up, and so glad you're having fun again. Keep on keeping on, and whatever you need to do to keep creating - taking a break, getting back out there, whatever - make sure you're prioritizing you. Being a creative is a marathon not a sprint, and I hope you know there's many of us who are grateful you're out there making music.
You absolutely crushed it! Bravo to you for pushing yourself. As an author who makes live appearances, I completely related to that anxiety, stage fright, and pandemic concerns. You are an inspiration that you got back out there and ended up having fun. Keep going! You got this!!
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR QUARANTINE SESSIONS?! My mom and I looked forward to those during the pandemic and that music was really something that kept me that much happier during a very stressful time, I hope everything is well with you!
I keep coming back to this. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT sound. It technically, sounds more studio. The street theatre sounds improbable. Superbly done 🥰
Woohoo, Mass Street busking!! I wish I had been downtown that day to see this! I would have been cheering so loudly for you. I am so sorry things have been so hard. But selfishly, I hope you never quit. Your voice gives me chills, and your tunes make me feel all the feelings. I am so happy you had fun doing this. The past couple of years have been ROUGH, on everyone, but I think creatives got hit harder than most. Maybe the hardest. It will get better. I think it pretty much has to. ♥️
To quote Bob the Minion "Boo Ya!"
An absolute delight seeing your love and passion for music so vividly. Hope you'll have many many awesome opportunities to feel like this and enjoy your art in 2022!
Every time I watch one of your videos I’m totally blown away by your amazing talent.Never stop doing what you do.
OMG I been a huge fan for YEARS I was shocked to see this pop up! So talented !
You really are one of the most absurdly talented people I've ever had the pleasure and genuine fortune of running across on TH-cam. Keep it up; you've got a very bright future if you ask me.
Right??!??
The first song I heard from you was CLOSER. And this is just icing on the cake. You keep churning out quality work. Can only imagine what would a collab between you and Trent Reznor would look like. You're awesome.
FUCK WHAT THEY ALL THINK OR WANT ... GO HARD Kawehi... YOU ARE AWESOME
I listen to this version as much as the original, brilliant
I'm super thrilled you went out of your comfort zone and performed during this very challenging year. Your performance in Denver was awesome, and is the only concert I have seen in 2 years. Thank you for doing what you do.
I wish I could like this a dozen or 100 times. I discovered you through NIN covers a couple of years ago. You are amazing!
Right?!?? my first tweet in years was this song just to help her spread it for the YT algorithm
Loved how the bike guy just had to cross behind you instead of going out onto the street.
This just randomly came up in my feed and as a massive NIN fan I was interested to hear a solo cover of arguably my favourite tune. Kawehi, this version was totally amazing while your talent is off the charts, and I've never missed a NIN tour of Australia so my frame of reference is pretty good. Really looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you and thanks so much for sharing. Subscribe!
Seriously, your music has such a special expression - I guess somebody who wasn't fighting his demons wouldn't have that energy. All the best to you and PLEASE keep at it. I am a very critical person but you tock and inspire me deeply! Hope you play im Switzerland some day!
It's so good to see you doing stuff again!. Been a follower for nearly 10 years. You have a remarkable tallent and skill as a musician.
NIN is always a favorite of mine.
I really enjoy the public recordings you post. The quality is incredible. Truly amazing talent.
Amazing!!! Im so happy you did this in spite of the anxiety.
I LOVE this. The fact that you did this during December is awesome. The holiday music as you're setting up is great. PERFECT song choice for the holiday :)
OMG this is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! Seriously it’s just awesome. In awe listening to this 🤘
The music¹ business².

You never disappoint. Always a top notch performance.
I gotta go revisit that album (and NIN in general, honestly). Such a well-thought-out, excellently-performed cover!
I'm soo glad you found the love in doing what you love again. You're far too amazing of an artist to give up on this. Seriously. KEEP GOING Kawehi. Me and soo many other people would be so bummed to find out you stopped. If you read dopamine nation or watched the Huberman lab podcast with Anna Lembke, It might help you appreciate that the lows are just part of it. JUST PLEASE DONT EVER STOP!
Wow, I was expecting this to be decent but damn, this was awesome. Love that you had the samples in real time and rocked out on the guitar. You are such a talent, I'm shocked no one has signed you to a record label because this was that damn good.
YES!!! Haven’t seen you in a while but you’ve still got it in spades! So happy to see rocking out!
Another amazing performance. I've loved this song ever since stumbling upon it on the Rock Band video games, and your cover got me all excited over it again. Hope I get a chance to see you cover this live one day.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MISSED YOU!!!!!!!
Girl- you're fking amazing. Hands down. No questions. Ever.
Please please pleeeeeaaaaase keep doing what you're doing and if I get the chance to see you when it's safer, I 100% will. Some of your songs are forever in my playlists. Much love- take care of yourself!
Awesome!!! We all have our lows. And sometimes all it takes is one song to get the juices flowing again. Congrats!!!!
I can't believe how much you've mastered the loop. It's amazing how easy you make it look
This is a fantastic rendition! My band hasn't played live in almost two years and we just booked our first show back. It's nerve wracking, to be honest! But music is more important now than ever. Wishing you a fantastic 2022!
Love it. Having read your posts about the struggles of touring and creating in these times I’m so glad you had some fun out there on the streets reconnecting with your art and owning the shit out of it!
One of the best covers I’ve seen so far done solo. 👏🏼
Happy one year anniversary to this video. It's still amazing. Time to see what else you've been up to. ❤🔥❤🔥🔥🔥👍👍
This is incredible, love this theme and I love your style and genius, your NIN covers are incredible and this song is by far my favorite. Love from Mexico!
Kawehi, you are fantastic. I absolutely adore your renditions of the Nirvana tracks and NiN's 'Closer' and this was so badass too. Respect for getting over the stage-fright too, I know how intense the anxiety can be but once you start and zone in and you remember you do it because you love the feeling
Sad that only those deep enough to understand the skill or musicians truly appreciate her skill. This song is FKN hard to sing and play guitar for at the same time, the signatures are all over the place. Gives me Do I Wanna Know vibes with the technique involved.
This is before even mentioning she's using the pedals to loop her instruments all at the same time. Insaneeee.
Outstanding performance, never give up
Amazing inside and out, please don't ever stop doing you and what you love -- it makes all the difference in this world.
Best wishes.
damn sorry to hear you were feeling down. this is definitely the song to get you the ENERGY to fight back and stick it to whatever's pushing you down. hope you feel better!
Incredible! Much appreciated and loved!
I love everything about this. Great cover! Goosebumps…and I rarely get goosebumps.
