About the artist
Chandler Kinney is an American actor and singer best known for her role as Willa Ward-Bekele in the Disney Channel franchise «Zombies», in which she also performed original songs recorded for the films. Her music career grew directly out of that acting work, with tracks written for the «Zombies» soundtracks giving her a foothold as a recording artist alongside her screen career.
Her output leans toward upbeat pop with dance and youth-culture themes, fitting the tone of the films that introduced her music, and songs like «We Own the Night» became fan favorites tied closely to the franchise's story and choreography. As a soundtrack artist, her recordings are inseparable from their on-screen context, giving her catalog a strongly narrative, character-driven quality rather than that of a standalone pop act.
Beyond «Zombies», Kinney has continued to work as an actor across television, with her music remaining a smaller but visible extension of that screen career. Her songs continue to find an audience largely through the built-in fanbase of the franchise that launched them.
