In 1996, Kendra’s love of music inspired her to pursue a career as a Disc Jockey (DJ). What turned out to be a life-changing decision, practice paid off and she went on to travel the world, performing as DJ Miss K with some of the best-known DJ's in the house music scene. In 1999, she had established her place as a Rave DJ and changed her stage name from DJ Miss K to DJ Frenchie. She was soon recognized as a leading female DJs in a male dominated industry, performing at Rave’s all over the country. Her career was halted when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. With surgery and chemotherapy seemingly successful and her hopes high for a healthy future, the cancer returned one year later to ultimately take her life on May 15, 2020.
