Introduce yourself.
My name is Kendal Conrad. I’m a singer-songwriter and social media influencer. I’ve opened shows for Blake Shelton, Kane Brown, Walker Hayes, Trace Adkins, Alabama, Scotty McCreery, Dennis Quaid, and many more. As an influencer, I’ve worked with Mattel, Adrianna Papell, Sephora, PEEPS, and Universal Music Group, to name a few. I am an ambitious, sensitive, creative over-thinker with a love of great food - check out Kendal's Bites (@kendalsbites) on Instagram, where I document all the best eats.

What is your passion and what drives you?
My passion is to connect with others and share my authentic self through my music. Whether it’s an acoustic show or singing with Keith Urban at Musikfest, I love to perform and entertain a crowd. People are always surprised to hear that I am an introvert: I am more comfortable singing my thoughts and feelings than I am actually saying them. Music IS my speaking voice, and that is what drives me: communicating through my songs.
.
How did you get where you are today?
I would not be where I am today if not for my ability to persist. I have a tendency to not let things go which has mostly served me in my journey. When I get something in my head, I don’t quit!
.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve received and have carried with you throughout your journey?
I have a clear vision for myself as an artist and a person, so I rarely seek out advice. I like to make my own mistakes and have my own experiences – and then learn from them.

Last year I co-chaired my first event, the PCFLV Ready, Set, Gold Run/Walk, with my friend and mentor Anne Baum, the President of the Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital. I was honored to team up with her to support a wonderful cause, and her belief in me empowers me every day. I am proud to be mentored by her, and I am grateful for her friendship.
