About Kendra Ross

I am an award-winning independent recording artist and songwriter, music business professional, and scholar. I currently work as the Director of Label Process Operations at Universal Music Group in NYC. When not on stage or in the boardroom, I am also an arts advocate, educator, and cultural organizer who is finishing up doctoral work in Community Engagement at Point Park University in Pittsburgh. I hope to release more music in 2019 once I've finished my dissertation on Black women artists and cultural workers. Check me out at kendraross.com
