Kendall Shiree’s journey begins in Kansas City, Missouri — #RedKingdom — where her early years were shaped by family, music, and competition. Nearly a decade ago, her family moved to Las Vegas, and with that, her path toward the spotlight became clearer.

Athletics were Kendall’s first stage. As a competitive cheerleader and track athlete, she learned how to perform under pressure and thrive in high-stakes situations. She started singing at 3 years old, but her professional career didn’t kick off until September 2023, sparked unexpectedly… by a first date.

Music was never optional in her household. Influenced by everything from her grandparents’ soulful voices to legends like Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross, she grew up immersed in melody and rhythm. Today, she’s an independent artist who values the creative freedom to discover herself while learning the business side of the industry.

On August 8, 2025, Kendall will release BACK 4 YOU, a soulful anthem about letting go of toxic people and reclaiming peace. It’s a track born from personal experience and wrapped in confident, seductive energy.

Her proudest accomplishment so far is building ChickenWrap Entertainment and All You Can Eat Publishing from the ground up. With an in-house production team — Keith “KEIKEI” James, Nadia Simone, and K!RYN815 — she’s surrounded by talent and vision.

When she’s not working, Kendall values balance: “The happier and more comfortable I am, the easier life flows.” On rest days, she might be shopping, laughing with friends, or just sleeping in. On work days, it’s Pilates, meetings, recording sessions, and performances.

Kendall’s ultimate vision? To inspire. As she puts it: “Your perception is your reality — choose to believe in yourself.”
