Kendi Jean is a Fort Worth-based emerging Americana artist who jumped in boots-first to the Texas Music scene in 2020, merging her Motown roots from Detroit with her Cowtown Boots from here in Funky-town. Though most of Kendi's first released music falls straight into the "Texas Country" category, this soul-sister is just fine with blurring lines of music genres. Her single "Your Eyes Are Lyin'" charted in the Top 50 on the Texas Country Music Chart & spent two weeks at #1 on the Texas Internet Radio Chart!
