Biography
Kennedy began playing drums at the age of 11 before picking up the guitar at 14 and playing in some local bands at youth clubs in Ballymoney and Portrush and cutting his teeth on an analogue 4 track recorder. After dropping out of a music production course in Perth, Scotland at the age of 19 Kennedy moved home before moving to London briefly to play guitar. After quickly becoming disillusioned with London life Kennedy moved back home once more and started working in Portrush Bar The Harbour where he met Rory Friers. The two bonded quickly over a love for music and shortly after formed North Coast band Team Fresh. Friers and Kennedy both moved to Belfast in 2006 where Friers started ASIWYFA and Kennedy Panama Kings.
