Kendall Renee is a Singer/Songwriter/Recording Artist from Southern California. Kendall knows about food allergies all too well. She is anaphylactic to 95 percent of all foods and must use a feeding tube in her stomach to receive nutrition. She is also severely allergic to airborne particles of all nuts. Kendall carries auto-injectable epinephrine with her at all times – and has used it to save her life eight times to date.
None of this has stopped Kendall from pursuing her dreams and career. Kendall released her first album “Original” in 2016, dedicating its message to individuals with different disabilities. Alongside her career as a songwriter and artist, Kendall travels around sharing her songs and story in the hopes of inspiring others going through their own medical struggles. She believes that disabilities can be turned into “superpowers” as she likes to call them, and can be used to do great things in this world. Aside from her music career, Kendall was also a highly competitive US Figure Skater for 13 years. She is currently working on a project to showcase the stories of different individuals with disabilities. Kendall has partnered with Aerie by American Eagle Outfitters as a changemaker to create a music video showcasing the stories of individuals with special needs. The song and video will focus on bringing hope and inspiration to others worldwide!
Kendall is a very active food allergy awareness advocate, working to educate the public about food allergies. She has been a fierce voice within the food allergy community for many years.
