Kawehi exploded into pop consciousness after a single-take video of her performing the 1993 Nirvana classic "Heart-Shaped Box" went viral; it's racked up more than 2 million views since it was published 2 years ago. Her vocal performances are precise and melodic, but it's what she does when she's not singing that has most enthused on- and offline audiences: she's perfected the ability to perform as a one-woman band, looping various vocal and instrumental samples into rich, hypnotic patterns. Since her rocket-powered ascent to fame, she's crowd-funded several well-received records, and is the very definition of the self-sufficient modern musician. Click the player to hear Kawehi talk about the power of the crowd, and play songs from her latest release, Interaktiv.
