Kina Grannis

While growing up in Mission Viejo, California, Kina Grannis would only sing in front of her stuffed animals. But, after graduating Summa Cum Laude from USC, she uploaded a video of her performing onto YouTube and submitted it to the Doritos Crash the Superbowl contest, which she won. Winning the contest earned her a contract with Interscope records and encouraged her to continue putting her performances on YouTube. She's since quickly racked up millions of views and has become one of the website's biggest viral music stars with her warm persona and sweet brand of acoustic, singer-songwriter folk.
