Listen in as we talk about how Kendra was ahead of the remote work revolution, how her vocal business helped her improve her craft and vice versa, how she developed her business with feedback from her community, her opportunity to record a song for a Netflix documentary, and the importance of developing your own networking style.
Her new release Carousel is available on all music streaming platforms!
