Kendra Dantes plays Up in Smoke live at Fig Tree. When not devoting her time reading or writing originals inspired by what she has been reading Kendra plays live where she can.

Kendra also plays guitar.

This was a rough one to do because there were so many good songs to choose from in her repertoire. I'm planning to listen to more. Most of them I listened to had a soft pop or even bluesy influence. The ones I listened to seemed to have been posted within the last year but she had originals and a few covers going as far back as four years ago. Her videos and songs range from enchanting to almost haunting depending on the topic.

“Songwriting is where my heart is. When it comes to my passions, there is very little that surpasses writing music. If things go as planned, I'd love to master the art of songwriting for TV & movies!”

"Floating" was Kendra's first EP.

Ruin in the Stars is one of Kendra's recent original releases.
