Singer, songwriter, and actress Kendra Erika joins The Chris & Sandy Show for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about resilience, reinvention, and trusting your creative instincts.

Born tone deaf, Kendra shares how classical training, discipline, and perseverance helped her overcome early limitations to build a career that includes five Billboard Top 10 dance hits. After years of success in the EDM world, she opens up about why she felt called to step away from club culture and reconnect with her roots in jazz, theater, and the American Songbook.

In this episode, we talk about:

1. Overcoming being tone deaf at birth
2. The unseen grind behind music success
3. Why she pivoted away from EDM despite chart success
4. Her James Bond–inspired trilogy album License to Thrill
5. Reimagining “GoldenEye” through a cinematic jazz lens
6. Authenticity in an AI-driven music industry
7. Building a smaller, intentional team
8. Her upcoming Las Vegas showcase and what’s next in 2026

This episode is a reminder that success is not about staying comfortable. It’s about evolving, honoring who you truly are, and having the courage to pivot when your soul calls you in a new direction.
