Kina Grannis Gives a Talk at a TEDx Event

TED is an awesome multi-disciplinary conference series that has continued to branch out and widen it’s grasp on topics. Enter Kina Grannis who was given an opportunity to sing and share her story on her rise in the music industry and how the online community played such an integral part in her career. It’s an awesome and very much recommended 12-minute watch.

Singer Song-writer Kina Grannis describes how her dream of being signed to a major record label became a reality and turned her perspective upside down.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
