Once I Was a Beehive

This movie premiers August 14, 2015




Check out the Trailer

Kenz was asked to say a few words at the Sandy a Premier August 6th. She was prepared to speak but due to time (and a little confusion,) she wasn't able to talk. But here is her message. 

First I want to say thank you to Maclain & Lisa for allowing me to be a part of this film. A musicians dream is to have their work recognized and more importantly, enjoyed. You both have made this dream a reality for me and it means so much. 

Last year, I had a crazy year with music.  I was released from a TV Show (booted) and because of strict contracts, I wasn't allowed to perform. So I decided to be productive and I ended up writing an album. I wrote a bunch of songs and realized something was missing. 

I wanted a deeper song.  Something that everyone could relate to. I got together with John Allred, who is an incredible songwriter and a dear friend, we struggled to come up with something together.  He had a skeleton of a song called the great unknown. When I got in the studio with Joshua James, we made some changes and that is when the song came alive for me.  It was exactly what I wanted. 

The Great Unknown is one of those songs that I hope everyone can listen to and relate it to their own lives.  It's about the up and downs of life. You can't control what life throws at you --- all you have to do keep going, one step at a time, into the great unknown. 

Again thank you for allowing me to be apart of this. I am excited to see this film and have a feeling it will be exceptionally successful. And I hope you enjoy a little bit of my music.

Working with Joshua James was a dream come true for Kenz.  
She KNEW he'd understand her music and respect her "sound". 

When she was recording her album, she was really sick... yet couldn't wait to go into the studio to continue working on the project.  That told me not only how much she LOVED how it was coming along but how much she was ENJOYING the process.  She is so proud of her album.

A few months ago, Joshua James asked Kenz to be a part of THIS album.  
She felt it was the biggest compliment she could receive. 

I have listened to it over and over!  
I LOVE it!  (I also love that she is the only girl.) 

Joshua James in incredible.  
As Kenz says... 
He is a genius.  
Note from Joshua: Over the years I have been trusted with the music of amazingly talented artists. I felt it was time to put some of my favorite songs from these records I have been a part of into a proper gang.
