Kendra Checketts

Listen to "Kendra Checketts From NBC's The Voice" on Spreaker. Kendra started acting at just 4 years old, but didn't reveal her powerful voice until she performed in a fourth-grade talent show. Realizing she had a gift, her parents would often make the two-hour commute to L.A. for auditions. One night while they were driving home, her father had a brain hemorrhage that left him in the hospital for the next year. Kendra did her best to lift his spirits by singing to him and playing piano in the lobby. Now that he's fully recovered, Kendra has released multiple singles on Spotify and Apple Music and started singing at events to help raise over $80,000 for various charities.
