Kendall Payne - ChristianMusic.com

1999

Jordan is a professional ballerina who has a younger sister. Her sister is not a dancer, but a bright, energetic, articulate singer/songwriter who writes lyrics so powerful they stir every emotion. Her songs will make you think, laugh, smile, dance and cry.

Jordan's sister is Kendall Payne. Get ready for an artist whose music speaks the truth to both the heart and the mind.

She sings and plays with a passion that belies her age and she writes with the insight of a young woman who has lived beyond her years. And while there is undoubtedly maturity to her music, Kendall Payne speaks of the challenges facing her generation as it approaches a new millennium.

"I don't like classifying my music as pop or alternative or whatever it might be called. To me, it's like a stew of different thoughts, emotions, and feelings," says the California-native who wrote or co-wrote all twelve of the tracks on JORDAN'S SISTER, her powerful 1999 debut for Capitol Records.

Kendall has helped me so much...

Hello, my name is Crystal Pizzola and I love Kendall Payne. She sings awsome. I am 18 years old and live in a really small town in Oregon. I have been a christian for about 3 years and her music and god have changed my whole outlook on life. I have always been able to sing and act because I have had such a hard life, that was my defence to the outside world. and my escape.

Well anyways I have always wanted to be an actress and was very able to, but today the acting world is so corrupted by drugs, sex, everything that seems normal to people today. Like Jesus said.....false will become normal and good will become abnormal. I thought that I could maybe do it if I had Jesus on my side, but all I can really do was dream about hollywood and the great unknown. Then I thought and listened to Kendall's songs and God showed me through many things that being an actress wasn't what he wanted for me.

He has my whole life planned and if i just listen he will show me. he has began to show me..... like I said before I sing, well I never really thought that I was good. But I love to praise God and I joined a praise band and started to sing......after that everything fell into place. I love to sing now. Its my talent that god gave me to use for the greater good. People all over ask me to sing for them and I travel to churches all over oregon and love every moment. Just listen and He will show you.
