Kendall Payne

Kendall Payne is a singer-songwriter, writer, and storyteller whose career has spanned major-label success, independent artistry, and a bold new creative chapter. Signed to Capitol Records at 17, she released her debut album Jordan’s Sister at 19 and quickly became known for her emotionally honest songwriting, earning a Dove Award and landing songs in film and television, including Grey’s Anatomy, Never Been Kissed, and more. Over the years, Kendall has released multiple albums, toured with acclaimed artists, and built a loyal audience drawn to her lyrical depth, vulnerability, and unmistakable voice. Now, she is re-emerging with fresh purpose, opening the vault on a lifetime of songs through All That to Say — a six-volume collection of her back catalog, shared through Patreon and filled with unreleased, revisited, and newly recorded work. At the same time, Kendall is continuing to write new music, including songs for the church she serves that reflect a faith shaped by real life, spiritual wrestling, deconstruction, and reconstruction. Her current creative work also includes a memoir and an original movie musical, Mom the Musical, featuring 15 original songs. Whether through music or words, Kendall’s work is rooted in honesty, depth, and the desire to make art that helps people feel seen. Learn more at: www.KendallPayne.com
