We had the good fortune of connecting with Kendale Walker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kendale, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I am pursuing this artistic career because I was told I was blessed with a voice. I am not sure I would even pursue singing if I didn’t know how to sing. I am told all the time to keep pursuing it so that is what I am trying to do.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a singer. I’m a songwriter. I am not sure what sets me apart from others, but I just keep pushing towards my goals. I want to be a singer. I want to be able to stand on that stage and tell others they can do it to but that they can’t quit. It takes Hard work and dedication and don’t let anyone tell you can’t do it. It’s not easy I am still trying to get to the top but I am not quitting. I still have challenges all the time, like being sixteen, it’s hard to prove to companies, restaurants, wineries, breweries and etc that I am capable of being on their stage but I still push through. There are so many no’s and closed doors but I have to keep going because one day that yes or a door will open and I have to be ready but until then I have to learn from the let downs. And keep doing what I love to do and that is singing.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was visiting me for a week we would definitely be doing all kinds of thing. Definitely be visiting the Hobby Center, take a Segway tour of Houston, thrifting in the heights, grocery shopping at Central Market and Trader Joe’s. We would also go watch an Astros game. There are some many great restaurants that it would definitely be hard to chose but one for sure would be Bellagreen. They have great food and for a fantastic burgers I would head to Cypress Texas north of Houston to Creekwood Grill for a good ole fashion hamburger.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to dedicate this shout out to my parents. While my dad is supportive he is the one who financially pays for things I need, it’s my mom who is always there to encourage me. Before I could drive she would be the one to drive me where ever I needed to go, she would make phone calls, emails and endless communications to whoever would listen about what I am capable of. She pretty much is my mom-Ager. 🙂
