If you've been keeping up to date with what's big in drum 'n' bass, you definitely know the name Kendrick.

Over the last few years, releases on labels like Sweet Tooth Recordings, Low Down Deep, Bites and Serial Killaz have propelled him to the forefront of new gen jump up producers. With monstrous tracks like 'Funky Pigeon' and his 'Energy' Ft Dreps, huge remixes for Majistrate and Logan D and countless more heaters on his resume, Kendrick has become one of the most attention-grabbing prospects in the scene.

And no surprise there. Even though the young Kendrick grew up with very little interest in music – even being banned from school music lessons – his life took a dramatic twist when he first heard the Nu Elementz classic 'Ganja Man' as a teenager. Something clicked and that was that. Kendrick had found the sound that would become his career.

Forging relationships and building his reputation in the DnB heartland of Bristol, the last few years have seen Kendrick progress from local deejay and promoter to headline-level artist. Prestige sets at events like Westfest, Love Saves the Day, RUN and on numerous other main stages have demonstrated that his brand of fierce, energetic jump up has the power to connect with audiences of all sizes. From huge festivals to underground raves, Kendrick's got the selection and the skills to tear the place a new one.

Having found his place among the elite of jump up, the next level is calling for Kendrick. Sure, he's already worked alongside his musical inspirations like Logan D, Majistrate and Nu Elementz, as well as the best of the next generation like Amplify and Dilate but, trust, there's a lot more story to come.

With a sound constantly undergoing evolution and refinement, an ever-more-rammed booking diary, and having inspired a whole new audience of jump up fans, Kendrick's just getting started.
