Kendra Foster was born and raised in Tallahassee, FL where she decided to attend college at Florida A&M University. Like many, she started singing in church, but her career began while at F. A. M. U.
While still a freshman at F. A. M. U., Kendra met Whitney Russell, trumpet/keys player, after "sittin' in" with his jazz combo at a local coffeehouse. Kendra had already developed an interest in jazz in high-school learning jazz standards and studying some of her influences, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson, Billy Holliday, and Ella Fitzgerald. So, when she "sat-in" and sang an obscure jazz standard, Whitney immediately made Kendra his protégé. He trained her through helping set-up, "sit-in" on, and helping breakdown his straight-ahead jazz and R&B gigs. Simultaneously, he introduced her to his roommate, Michael Patterson, who was primarily a funk musician extraordinaire. After minimal trial rehearsals, Mike invited Kendra to be in his band, Smoke, performing their originals and Parliament/Funkadelic covers (Mike being a P-Funk fanatic). Kendra was becoming more experienced by performing with Smoke and any gig Whitney assembled. Also, with an eleven-year background in ballet, Kendra joined Orchesis Contemporary Dance Theatre at F.A.M.U. and took part in the Urban Bush Women Institute learning and performing mostly african diasporal dances and modern technique. So, when Whitney formed the fusion-styled group, Fish -N- Grits, he made Kendra the lead vocalist.
As Fish -N- Grits gained more local acclaim and Smoke began their hiatus, Kendra decided to change her major in school from Math/Chemistry to Jazz Studies/Commercial Music and joined F.A.M.U. 's jazz big band (devoting most her time to music). Meanwhile, Mike Patterson discovered that George Clinton
of Parliament/Funkadelic established a studio in Tallahassee, FL and acquired an engineering job there.
Though they gained much local notoriety, Fish -N- Grits had problems being unified and disbanded. Kendra continued to gig continuously on other various performances with Whitney. Meanwhile, Mike was working more regularly at George Clinton's studio. He and Theresa Corbitt (employee of P-Funk and Kendra's dance classmate) recommended that George hear Kendra. Kendra began, little-by-little, recording at the studio. In parallel motion, she met outstanding musicians in the music department at school, one being Robin Phillips a.k.a. Jew'EL. Kendra, along with Jew'EL, became vocalists for a neo-soul band composed of other students, Concept. With the gigs Whitney continued to find, the rapidly increasing gigs with Concept, and a flood of school work, Kendra was still creating music in George Clinton's studio every chance given.
After 1-2 years, the substantial amount of material Kendra recorded finally caught George's attention, and he signed her and asked her to come on tour. Leaving school and Tallahassee behind, she continued the creation of her album, "Myriadmorphonicbiocorpomelodicrealityshapeshifter", and went on the road with P-Funk. Through her membership in P-Funk, Kendra has performed all over the world and on television specials/programs like the Grammys, Jerry Lewis Telethon, the B.E.T. 25th Anniversary Special, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Late Night with Carson Daly.
On the road, she befriended and began to work very closely with Sativa and (now) members of Children of Production. Through the "whenever-wherever" sessions and adventures in trying to perform, Kendra grew a passion for Children of Production and became a part of it's formation. While still performing with P-Funk and other bands, Kendra is a very active member of Children of Production as a vocalist, co-management, and promotions assistant.

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our fourth LP release...
LEILA ADU has been described as 'A Nina Simone for the Noughties', and her two acclaimed albums infuse a broadly 'art-rock' approach with elements of torch song, speakeasy blues, avant garde jazz, gamelan, post-rock textures, and a David Lynch style dreamlike b-movie melodrama. As her website has it, exploring the "dissonant edges of familiar forms", but with that kind of 'dissonance' that they once accused Thelonious Monk or Debussy of, the kind that soon betrays it's own compelling melodic and harmonic logic to the attentive listener...
'Dark Joan', Leila's third album as a solo artist, was recorded in Chicago with the legendary Steve Albini (PJ Harvey, Joanna Newsome, Nirvana, Pixies), and Albini's genius has been to strip her sound back to it's essence, and hold it's most distinctive qualities up to the light. It doesn't hurt that this is by far Leila's most powerful set of songs to date, and if anything we are lead even deeper into her world by the pictures painted with just piano (or in some cases harpsichord or a grime-encrusted electric piano) and that voice...
Capable of anything from delicate heartbreaking purity to a fearsome dramatic power, her powers are seemingly limitless, yet unlike most other singers of her calibre, never does she resort to melodrama or show-boating, or any kind of pastiche, instead she employs her resources fully in the expression of her distinctive musical vision and the deep well-spring of her imagination. Nothing ever sounds as though it could have not been sung...

Sigo muy preocupada con este tema, y ya han pasado meses...
No comprendo que pretende, ni cuales son sus verdaderas motivaciones, la verdad, cada dia entiendo menos todo esto, pero aunque no me llame y no sepa nada de él... siempre apoyaré a mi hijo incluso en una locura como esta.
Muchas gracias por estar ahí.
Arriba te dejo una img de mi hijo x si no sabes quien es.

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our third LP release...
"Anutha Kinda Brotha" is the debut LP from underground legend ART TERRY. Since moving to the UK from his native Los Angeles in the early 90s, Mr Terry has established himself as one of London's characters.
Describing Art's sound to the uninitiated usually involves debunking some of the stereotypes of what the 'typical' black Californian might play. Despite his jazz training, and coming of age to the sounds of classic soul and funk, these styles are only a part of his musical vision. His fascination with folk styles, classical music, punk rock, pure pop, easy listening, musical theatre and the European avant garde have taken him on different paths from most...
The result is an orchestral pop record full of sonic inventiveness, whether it's the blend of Shuggie Otis's 60s California and Sun Ra's ancient Egypt on 'Bible', Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons leading a mariachi band on 'Escort', or the Walt Disney music box orchestra of 'Miss Dominatrix', but whilst this is very much a sonic feast, we shouldn't overlook Art's extraordinary lyrical adeptness, and the distinctive character this brings to the proceedings, with a knack for unique and colourful imagery, and how like a great short story writer he is able to paint an engaging picture whilst keeping back from casting judgement on his characters, always leaving open ends for the listener to tie; giving us the feeling that however far astray someone might have gone, there is always sympathy and human feeling for them in Art's mind...
