Big Time Rush member Kendall Schmidt announced that he will be releasing his third solo single entitled “Any Less” on July 31.
Schmidt has been teasing the single since May, with posts to his Instagram account. On July 1, he confirmed the song’s release date, posting a reel of him behind a fence, saying “The fence was a paid actor.”
Schmidt shared that he’s “super proud” of the new single and described it as a “sappy love song.”
Big Time Rush Star Breaks Out
Schmidt is a musician and actor. He is best known for his role as Kendall Knight in the Nickelodeon sitcom “Big Time Rush,” which aired on the network from 2009 – 2013.
Outside of Big Time Rush, he was also a member of another band Heffron Drive, alongside guitarist Dustin Belt. From 2014 to 2018, the band released one album, “Happy Mistakes,” an EP entitled “Slow Motion” and multiple singles. They were also named Macy’s iHeartRadio Rising Star in 2018, earning the opportunity to perform at that year’s iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
In 2021, Schmidt reunited with his Big Time Rush bandmembers. After a two-year negotiation with Nickelodeon and Sony, the band now had full ownership of their name, branding, masters and artistic license under their newly formed independent record label Bought the Rights, LLC.
Since then, the band has since performed sold-out shows across the U.S. and Europe, most notably at Madison Square Garden and the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, with three headlining tours: “The Forever Tour,” “The Can’t Get Enough Tour” and the “In Real Life Worldwide Tour.”
Big Time Rush has also released new music, which includes a handful of singles and a 15-track deluxe album entitled “Another Life,” released in 2023. They also re-recorded two unreleased hits from their Nickelodeon show,”Paralyzed” and “Blow Your Speakers Out,” with “Paralyzed” reaching #1 on the Apple Music Charts in November 2022.
This is Schmidt’s first time releasing solo music, beyond a Christmas single he released in 2014 entitled “Blame it on the Mistletoe.”
Last year, Schmidt debuted his first two singles: “Shattered” and “Honeydew.” The release gave fans a chance to hear his own unique sound, outside of a collaboration.
“For years I’ve toyed with the ideas of putting out ‘my own’ music. Obviously anything I write for my other projects is also me,” Schmidt said in an Instagram post. “But I couldn’t ignore the feeling that I wasn’t releasing songs that spoke about my inner being, my beauty family, my life. These songs are the antidote to that feeling.”
