Walk with us to the edge of human possibility and learn what you are capable of. New episodes every Wednesday.
Some conversations will be with those who summit the pinnacle of their profession —or break molds attempting to scale untold peaks.
In this conversation, I was fortunate to sit down with a contemporary composer & innovator, Kai Kight.
His background is anything but typical. Sports, Design, Stanford, Violin, Composing.
He holds an engineering degree from Stanford University’s d. school where he was introduced to the innovative culture of Silicon Valley. As a Kleiner Perkins Design Fellow and Mayfield Fellow, Kai got an early start in entrepreneurship.
Kai began playing the violin when he was 3 years old, was classically trained, and studied under the concertmaster of Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra. His music has brought him to perform in venues such as the White House and the Great Wall of China.
Today Kai composes his own music using an innovative style on the violin which blends classical technique with rhythms and textures from popular genres such as hip hop and jazz. His favorite composer is Bach, because of the soul riveting harmony and improvisational rhythms.
He is thoughtful, articulate, and working to let his heart be felt.
