Kindred the Family Soul, also referred to as Kindred, are an American R&B, soul, and neo soul duo comprised of the married couple of Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon. Signed to Hidden Beach Recordings, Kindred emerged from the Philadelphia neo soul movement that also includes Jill Scott, who discovered them while the couple was performing at the Black Lily Film & Music Festival on May 4, 2007.

Their follow-up album was 2005's "In This Life Together"—its title being a reference to Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee's 1998 book "With Ossie & Ruby: In This Life Together"—, spawning the single "Where Would I Be (The Question)".
