kendrakae

United States

Kendra is a nuanced and diverse singer and songwriter. A trained opera singer, she left behind perfection for a simpler sound and more creativity. Literally, she took her life from NYC to Bali and embraced the inspiring island vibes. She continues to traversed the world gathering pieces of her heart that transform into songs that awaken the heart. Her sounds include folk, jazz, mantra, vocal, choral, classical and more. She is inspired by powerful feminine voices such as Joni Mitchell and Maria Stark. Her ear leans into the intense choral structures of Eric Whitacre and Christopher Tin. She is a lyricist of depth and word play on par with the story telling of Dolly Parton, and her musicality transforms her lyrics into a transcendent experience. Her heart is absolutely open as she welcomes all that this world offers as a sacrament of inspiration.
