singer. songwriter. musician.
Hi there! Nice to meet you!
I am Kendall, a 18 year old musician/singer/ songwriter, and currently perform in festivals, community and church events. I play mostly acoustic guitar while performing, but also play electric guitar, piano and drums. I enjoy playing covers from current artists as well as from retro iconic performers and my own original content.
​
I love to tell story through song and share the gift of music with people. Thanks for visiting my site and I hope you enjoy my music.

NATS Competition
National Assoc. of Teacher's of Singing
This year I competed in NATS at Queen's University- where vocal students from all over Ontario compete in various genres and events and are adjudicated by Vocal teachers and University professors who are experts in their field.
I entered the Contemporary/Pop Category and the Self- Accompanied Category and placed FIRST in both my categories! Then I was selected to perform in the Winners Concert at the beautiful Isabel Bader Theatre at Queen's, where I got to perform my Original Song "Sparing People's Feelings". Hoping to release this as a single soon!
Ain't no Grave
This video is from September 2022 - one of my first performances of this song publicly. Ain't no Grave is my favourite song to perform, and the one I consider my "signature song". If you've heard me perform live, you've most likely heard this one!
Originally written by Claude Ely in 1934, and performed by many singers over the years, including Johnny Cash, who recorded it shortly before his death, in 2003, but it wasn't released until several years later.
​
I sing it differently today than I did in this video but it's come a long way with me!
