Kendra Chantelle

Kendra Chantelle is a soul with a vulnerable, positive message. Writing from the depths of her own experiences and singing from the guttural rock bottom of emotion sets her apart and allows for her unique expression. Kendra spent much of the last decade singing alongside some of the greatest artists in and around Nashville (Tom Keifer, Lindsay Ell, Zac Brown Band, Will Hoge, Lzzy Hale, STS9, Scooter Brown Band, Trigger Hippy, Cheap Trick, Kristian Bush and SO many more) and has cultivated her own sound piece by piece. Kendra has also served several years as a vocal coach focusing on breathwork and the holistic healing effects of sound, vocalization, breath, and more.
