Lili of the valley

The name Kendall means ‘from the bright valley’ and this Lili is definitely flourishing in a bright valley.

Lili Kendall hasn’t yet visited Tasmania but is keen to, especially because it is ‘beautiful’ and has ‘great food’. It may be not so long before Lili does get to visit as she has plans for an Australian tour next year.

Music has been part of Lili’s life as long as she can remember, and reinforced when she received a guitar for her 12th birthday. She has been writing lyrics ever since. One day hearing her playing her sister said ‘this is really good’ and so Lili realised that music was her career path.

And music by osmosis seeps into all aspects of Lili ‘s life including her school.

Lili attends a music industry college in Brisbane where the whole curriculum is infused with music, including maths and English, an example of the latter being studying ‘Blazac and the Little Chinese Seamstress’ which is explored as to what music would suit particular scenes in the novel.

Lili’s (purity) name suits her and showcases the purity of her voice and her maturity. Her song ‘Moonlight’ is about when a relationship ends and how you no longer view a person through rose coloured glasses.

The scene where Lili swims in the pool makes us symbolically see her washing away the man from her life.

Lili has been to Nashville and calls her lifestyle ‘active, crazy’ and ‘ridiculous’ and has about 5 trips a year to LA.
