Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Wichita, Kansas, Kendall began acting at five in a Chex commercial. His early television work included Gilmore Girls, Frasier and ER, before his 2009 breakthrough as Kendall Knight in Big Time Rush.
Music before the big break.
Kendall and guitarist Dustin Belt started Heffron Drive in 2008. In an early interview, he recalled learning recording software as they went and posting their songs on MySpace. The duo’s name came from the Burbank street where they both lived.
Two musical homes.
Big Time Rush turned a television role into a recording and touring career. Alongside that, Kendall kept making music with Dustin, releasing Heffron Drive’s debut album Happy Mistakes in 2014 through TOLBooth Records. Big Time Rush reunited in 2021 and released Another Life in 2023.
Songs from home.
His recent solo work brings the scale closer to home. Working with Adam Korbesmeyer, Kendall has been exploring quieter arrangements and songs shaped by love and fatherhood. Photography is part of the process too: he helps build the visual world around his releases.
