Classical violinist Kai Kight, ’14, shares how Stanford pushed him to enjoy the beauty within the moment and to combat criticism that comes from within.
Kai Kight, ’14, is a violinist, composer and 2013 Mayfield Fellow in the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. As a musician, Kai has performed his original music for thousands of people in venues across the world - from the White House to the Great Wall of China. As a speaker, he has created impactful experiences for audiences at conferences, companies and universities internationally. Some of his clients include 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.
