Emerging from a cluttered closet filled with instruments Kendra Morris exits her “studio.” “It’s a pretty messy cubby overflowing with instruments and clothes,” she says with a laugh. Morris recorded her entire debut album in there on an 8 track, the basic feeling being the lyrics should be what’s complex, not the recording process. And not the stage show either. Many have caught Morris performing in and around New York City with nothing more than her guitar plugged into a boombox. Born in St. Petersburg, Florida and now living in NYC Morris grew up being heavily influenced by a wide range of artists including Aretha Franklin, Liz Phair, David Bowie and PJ Harvey to name a few. Now, equipped with her guitar, boombox, and 8 track, she’s setting out to influence a few folks of her own.
