KENDALL GENDER As a performer, host, model and LGBTQIA2S+ activist, Kendall Gender (he/him (out of drag, she/her in drag) is a bonafide Canadian drag sensation. With grassroots in Vancouver, she has performed coast to coast since 2014 and shows no signs of slowing down. Kendall is best known for being on season 2 of Canada’s Drag Race, where she placed in the top 3. She is also known for being the queer ambassador for Fairmont Hotels, a member of the infamous drag group ‘BRATPACK’ and a past winner of the elite drag competition “Vancouver’s Next Drag Superstar” in 2017. She was also elected as the “Empress of Vancouver” and raised over $25,000 for various charities as a part of the Dogwood Monarchist Society. In 2020 she was also the first drag performer to do a halftime performance at the Rugby 7’s game, performing for a crowd of 50,000 people. As a biracial artist, Kendall started the show ‘VISIBLE’ which is designed as a platform to raise money and awareness for visible minorities. In 2020, the events moved digital and raised over $9,000 for Black Lives Matter during a single event. The next VISIBLE show is going to be held February 20th at The Junction. Kendall has been cast in the lead role of an upcoming film called “Stay”, playing the character Kaleb/Ivy Diamonds. The film is set to release in March of this year. As on third of the “Brat Pack”, she has a new single out, SHINE, available on all the streaming platforms. And this song is SMOKING HAWT!
