This week we delve into the life and career of singer-songwriter Kendra Erika. We dig deep into her musical beginnings, and she reveals her unique entry into the world of music, which is marked by the challenge of being born to deaf parents, thus shaping her early understanding of sound and silence.
Will Pol’ and Patrik make a special guest appearance in her next music video? Kendra shares a pivotal moment from her childhood at eight years old when a German opera singer recognized her potential and guided her, fostering her early passion for music. Lots of laughs ensue over shared anecdotes about musical abilities and limitations, with Pol’ and Patrik joking about their own vocal talents, or lack thereof.
The conversation shifts to a more serious tone as Kendra discusses the mechanics of her career progression, from her strategic use of a firm that helps artists climb the Billboard charts to her geographical moves between the East Coast and Los Angeles. She outlines the demanding travel and the ambitious grind that defined her pre-Covid career trajectory.
Kendra also touches on her creativity during the Covid pandemic, detailing the inspiration behind her "Song of Hope," which she aimed to be a unifying anthem reminiscent of the iconic '80s hit "We Are the World." She performs a snippet of this song, demonstrating her vocal depth influenced by her classical training. The hosts commend her achievements and delve into her creative process, discussing her favorite works and the stories behind her music videos, such as the visually striking "Avalanche" video featuring an ice-sculpted piano.
Kendra opens up about the challenges and realities of the music industry, including an unfortunate encounter with Nick Jonas at the Grammys, which offers insight into the often glossed-over aspects of celebrity interactions. She candidly discusses the need for authenticity and openness as an artist, especially when dealing with fans and fellow artists.
Kendra's narrative is one of determination and authenticity, navigating the complexities of the music industry while staying true to her artistic vision and personal values. She discusses her collaborations, including a notable project with Olivia Newton-John’s daughter, Chloe Lattanzi and her ongoing commitment to evolving her sound and message.
Our "Haute Topics" cover recent events in the music and fashion worlds, providing a spirited and insightful commentary that highlights their diverse perspectives. Kendra’s presence brings a unique blend of personal and professional insights, making this episode a compelling blend of humor, candid discussion, and profound storytelling.
