About:

Kendra McKinley paints on her clothes and makes music for smoking weed with your bra off.

She’s a conduit of connection with a sound that blends the grounded sophistication of Feist with the soulful, genre-fluidity of Moses Sumney. Her live set features a sensuous swirl of guitar grooves, and hypnotic vocal layering with her loop pedal—inviting audiences into a sensuous and sophisticate soundscape that will leave audiences swooning.

Born in Santa Cruz, California, into a family of artists, McKinley has been immersed in a spectrum of performance mediums from a young age. Theater, dance, choir, visual art, fashion, and music have shaped this intuitive performer, laying the foundation for a dynamic and multifaceted career in the arts.

McKinley’s recorded catalog showcases the vivid depth and range of her artistry. Her most recent LP, WHERE DOES A BODY BEGIN?, blends lush, feminine, and seasoned sensibilities reminiscent of Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark, infused with the undeniable groove of D’Angelo’s Black Messiah.
