Kendra lives in south Texas with her family, grew up listening to her father's favorite music: classical (especially Tchaikovsky), romantic music, Beethoven, Big Band (Glenn Miller) and artists like Kenny G. and Jim Brickman. Her first contact with the piano was when she heard the album "Picture This" by Jim Brickman. Her father reproduced it in his car each time they traveled. Jim Brickman is his biggest influence, and that is appreciated in every note, every chord. Kendra keep listening his wonderful music. Moreover, her grandfather introduced her to the music of Yanni was captivated by its romanticism and lush beauty. She started playing the piano when she was 12 and soon after began playing in church. Kendra is completely self taught. And in late 2009 presents her debut album 'Hope', a highly recommended album.
