Meet Kendall Shiree

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kendall Shiree. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Kendall, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Confidence comes from the belief that you trust yourself enough to make mistakes, analyze them, accept them and create something better out of it. My confidence really comes from my childhood and my parents always supporting me and allowing me to be who i am, unapologetically. However, as we get older, some of those roots can begin to stray as we meet new people and face harder challenges. Confidence is a choice. Wake up and decide that no one and no thing can shake who you believe that you are inside. We are all unique beings made from the same flesh, bones, and emotions. That right there should give you confidence knowing that you are never alone in this world, someone somewhere understands you but also, you are the only one of you! How much of a disservice would it be to deprive the world of you because you’re scared??

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

“What would you like to be when you grow up?” -Kindergarten Teacher, 2006
“Beyonce!” -Kendall, 2006
Quite literally, for as long as I can remember I have always loved to sing and had a deep desire to perform and entertain. I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri and stayed there until my family decided to move to Las Vegas in 2016. I grew up an athlete, competitive cheer for 14 years and Track and Field for 12 years straight, simultaneously. You don’t hear of too many little girls making it out of KC to make their huge star studded dreams come true, but I’d be so grateful and honored to be one of the first to really make it big out of my city. If you know anything about the city you know it’s a little rough around the edges and sometimes you have to step out of the chaos to truly assess the damage. Now after living in Las Vegas for 8 years, I have found a lot of pieces of myself that I buried deep under the self judgement and confusion all this time. I am a singer. I love my craft and I love music and it’s the one thing that has truly been consistent my entire life. I decided to jump into the deep end and make my life exactly how I saw it in my head. I have been a *professional* singer now for over a year and have 2 singles released on all platforms and a new debut album coming as soon as early 2025! I also have been professionally modeling and acting for 3+ years in Vegas and I love this journey that I’m on. I genuinely can’t see myself doing anything else forever and feeling this much fulfillment with it. I am able to create something new every single day and that in itself is the biggest blessing to me. Right now I’m focused on perfecting my craft and sharpening my tools so I can be the best, ever growing version of myself as I can. The more you are able to pour into and understand and love yourself, it’s inevitable that that’s exactly what you’ll receive in return. So much to look forward to in the next year and so much creation to share with the world and I couldn’t be more grateful. Go do what you wanna do! Cheers to life.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

The 3 best pieces of advice I have is 1. Be completely, wholeheartedly, unapologetically YOU. There’s only one version of you on the planet and you deserve to be celebrated for exactly that. What a disservice it would be to yourself and the world that you’re trying to cram yourself into the mold. Break the mold, build your own, take up space!

Number 2 is knowing that you are valuable just as you are. You have nothing to prove to anyone but yourself. No one is going to advocate for you, like you! If you are happy and moving forward no matter the pace, do things on your own time and in your own way. This is your life, take back the steering wheel and trust yourself, if you’re not enjoying every moment, you should pivot.

My last piece of advice would be to get to know you, the real you, and have compassion for the parts of yourself you suppress. Have such a strong relationship with yourself that you release the self judgement from your mind because you deserve to be flawed and loved regardless of it. your intuition is there for a reason, trust yourself!

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

LET. ME. TALK! The one thing I will always be grateful for that my parents allowed my siblings and I to do was, talk. Learning to express your emotions and being able to articulate your thoughts in a way that people understand and resonate with you is the greatest skill to have. It opens so many doors in the mind when healthy communication is something you’ve been able to practice for such a long time. It’s extremely important and your deepest, most meaningful relationships start in your adolescence and shape who you become. Parents, let your kids talk!! They are human too.
