Biography

Kai Kight uses music as a metaphor to inspire individuals and organizations worldwide to compose paths of imagination and fulfillment.

Inspired by his mother who, when diagnosed with cancer, revealed regrets of not bringing her ideas to the world, Kai is on a mission to spark a global mindset shift in which ingenuity is the norm, not the exception. In his emotionally powerful presentations, Kai performs original music and candidly shares stories from his own transformation as an artist, translating these insights into takeaways that audiences can infuse into their own lives and work environments.

As a musician, he has performed his original music for audiences around the world, from the White House to the Great Wall of China. As a speaker, he has created impactful experiences for a wide range of audiences internationally, including for clients such as The Walt Disney Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the Super Bowl-winning Seattle Seahawks. His mesmerizing and original violin performance beautifully becomes a sonic metaphor for the core of his message: to inspire people to compose unique ideas in a world that celebrates conformity.

Compose Your World

Whether in education, business, healthcare, or government, the systems and routines we depended on for so long have disappeared. While this void has been devastating, it also leaves us with an incredible opportunity: a blank page on which we can compose our future. We will look back at this time as the
moment we made leaps forward by creating more innovative technologies, more human-centric businesses, and more inclusive workplaces.

As a violinist and keynote speaker, Kai Kight believes that music can be used not only as an escape during this difficult time, but as a guide for us to learn from as we look to redesign our lives and work.

Message Across Audiences:

Individuals--
• how to imagine new and unique possibilities (compose)
• how to practice resilience and transform your skillset (practice)
• how to find joy and gratitude in the midst of high performance (applaud)

Teams--

• how to collaborate in a modern work environment (harmonize)
• how to help others progress in times of change (conduct)

Customers--

• how to courageously put a new idea into the world/marketplace (perform)
• how to create customer impact work and fulfill a higher purpose (captivate)

Kai was a huge success, our participants loved him, his visuals, performance, and really connected with his ‘artist vs musician’ message – with many quoting it later on during the event. It was actually difficult to tell who our audience appreciated more – Kai or Seth Godin, so that’s a huge compliment to Kai! He was such a delight to work with in the prep stage too and delivered even more than we had hoped for.
– Nicole Kaijser | Learning & Programme Officer | European Association for International Education
Kai was a delight to work with, you could hear a pin drop throughout his 45 minutes on stage, that was how well he held the audience in his hand. His message was well-received by the audience and his willingness to mix at the cocktail function with a variety of our people for close to three hours made all of us feel very special.
– CEO, Barfoot & Thompson
Kai is an absolute powerhouse of raw talent whose passion rips through a crowd like wildfire! Kai is a sure bet to engage with any audience and leave them moved, captivated, and wanting more!
– Landmark Ventures
Both bold and yet sweetly provocative, Kai finished with a crowd of 500 people on their feet and yelling "bravo"! If you are looking for an energetic, motivational, and inspirational speaker and performer, I highly recommend Kai Kight."
