Konrad Kendrick

          Well my story begins in Little Rock, Arkansas where I was born. I am one of four children. As I grew up, music began to play a major influence on me. Coming from a musical family I guess it was a natural progression. I started singing in the church choir and while in school I continued to sing. Then I started playing the Trumpet but soon found out that really wasn’t the answer to my passion. Then came the drums. Man I was at home sitting behind the kit. It was, and still is to this day, a great challenge for me. I started playing in a gospel quartet, as they were called down south... more >>
