Kenna Gandy grew up east of Dallas in the small town of Tyler, Texas. She spent much of her time in the country, on her family's farmland, cultivating a love for gardening and animals. In her early years, she volunteered at animal shelters to share her love of animals, especially cats. At the age of five, her parents noticed her love of music and performance and soon she was placed in ballet and continued to study the art for thirteen years. A naturalist and avid reader, she loves music and fashion.
