Gwen Cardenas & Kin

About Me

Gwen Cardenas didn't have to go too far to put this group together. She has always been surrounded by talented family members and friends. Her writing and vocal style are heavily influenced by "old school" type artists like Rufus and Chaka Kahn and Cold Blood. Gwen took some music courses at Los Angeles City College and was once a voice student of Jazz singer Dianne Reeves. Her love for Soul/Latin/Jazz and Funk music have influenced the sound of this ensemble. Gwen Cardenas & Kin have been playing in LA clubs with their own style of Latin-soul, funk and jazz since 1997. This band showcases very gifted vocalists as they harmonize with one another over bootie shakin' beats!
